User:H. Sylvanus

a.k.a droniye/horatius/類思

Being a novice user, I still have much to learn in terms of languages, etymology and historical linguistics. Feel free to correct me on my talk page.

Explanation of my name
I took the name Sylvanus (Latin,, equivalent to English Woods) based on what I thought to be a semantic matching to my Chinese surname 梁. Upon reading the following definition for 梁 in the 說文解字 Shuowen Jiezi dictionary, 梁、水橋也. 从木从水，刅聲. I've come to the conclusion that perhaps Pontifex is a better translation.
