 * 1) Entry is wrong (WT:ELE: "Derived terms   [...] in the same language [...]")
 * 2) The note seems to be nonsense like the one once in ruderalis  as it doesn't seem to apply to Latin, but to translingual nonsense.
 * 3) The Late Latin is a mentioning (of a Greek term although in transliteration) and no usage
 * It is obviously used in taxonomic names, four of which appear as derived terms. DCDuring (talk) 03:29, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * We have had repeated inconclusive discussions about whether such terms should appear under Translingual or Latin L2 headers. Some of them have been used in scientific Latin running text, but attestation is difficult. DCDuring (talk) 03:34, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * As a Latin term, it needs Latin usages. If not used in Latin, it isn't Latin, see WT:CFI, Talk:albifrons. --Marontyan (talk) 07:09, 10 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Well, it has a citation, although it does seem mentiony. I changed the "derived terms" to "see also", which would resolve that issue if it were kept as Latin, but it does seem like it should perhaps be changed to Translingual unless there are other citations. - -sche (discuss) 20:47, 8 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Changed to Translingual; the only "Latin" cite looked like it was just mentioning it as the Greek word(?), not using it as a Latin word. - -sche (discuss) 01:03, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
