Talk:grypas

griphas
Latin. Both of these have been added as Latin lemmas for "griffin", allegedly from Modern Greek }. I think they're more likely to be non-lemma accusative plural forms of / taken from γρῦπας, the accusative plural of Ancient Greek. Urszag (talk) 11:17, 17 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Going back to the original text (a fourth-century translation of the Alexander Romance quoted in A Primer of Medieval Latin by Charles H. Beeson, I think you might be right. Here’s the original sentence:
 * Praeparavi ingenium sederem et apprehendi griphas atque liguieas cum catenis …
 * with griphas glossed as “=grypas” in a footnote. D A Hosek (talk) 01:17, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
 * OK, marking as RFV-resolved since these seem to be established to be non-lemma forms.--Urszag (talk) 01:05, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
