Talk:cyprius

RFC discussion: May–July 2013
The title and headword are different. And shouldn’t it be Cyprius? — Ungoliant (Falai) 02:19, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It's an adjective, so it shouldn't be capitalised. 02:20, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The technical problem was due to extra parameters- probably added by someone who got the headword and declension templates mixed up. As for capitalization: why wouldn't an adjective derived from a proper noun share the proper noun's capitalization? It's capitalized in Lewis and Short, and there are capitalized terms in Category: Latin nouns. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:14, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The Oxford Latin Dictionary capitalizes proper adjectives too, as does every other print Latin dictionary I've checked, including a Latin–German dictionary, so it's not an idiosyncrasy of English-speaking lexicographers. —Angr 20:40, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Does it depend on whether it's English Latin or french Latin? No, I'm wrong. Even Wiktionnaire has it capitalised.     D b f  i  r  s   17:00, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and moved the entry to Cyprius. Could someone please check that I've followed the correct procedure?  I've left the request for cleanup because we still need to decide on the usage on "ȳ".  Our Latin entry at Cyprus doesn't use it, so it would seem consistent to remove it from this entry.  I await the opinion of Latin experts before doing so.    D b f  i  r  s   12:36, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The vowel is short in this word, so ȳ should not be used. —Angr 20:28, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for sorting that out. My Latin is very rusty.  We can now close this request.    D b f  i  r  s   20:39, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I've also moved all the inflected forms to capitalized versions. —Angr 20:44, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
