 * Given that it's always found in a discussion of an Ancient Greek text, often cited with the Ancient Greek article, ("ta splanchna"), and usually is described as something along the lines of "the Ancient Greek word for..." I think you're right. It should go without saying, but some people don't take hints... Chuck Entz (talk) 23:03, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Our technically perfect transliteration of Classical Greek renders as splankhna not splanchna, so a search for the term using splanchna doesn't find the entry for σπλάγχνον. I hypothesize that that lack of link may be the cause of the entries. I wonder how often this kind of thing happens when users search for a Greek or other non-Latin script term they find in transliteration. DCDuring (talk) 03:30, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
