Merge into opportunus, or the other way around if oportunus is more common than opportunus. Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV 19:25, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Extremely rare variant from of opportunus:. I will mark it as such and merge the defs as needed. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 19:47, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Is it a rare misspelling? Because we only allow common misspellings, not rare ones. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:51, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Is there even such a thing as a misspelling in a language without standardised spelling? 21:09, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Remember, Latin is extinct. I'm pretty sure that there's one, maybe two classical citations. That makes it very rare, but definitely inclusible under the CFI. Yes, it is technically a misspelling, and Latin is remarkably standardised in that respect. The double p results from what was originally the consonant cluster bp; it almost certainly reflects pronunciation as well. My guess is that SB made a typo when creating it and just got lucky that it's a real term. --Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 22:34, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
