Oops, so sorry, I thought I saw a "N" with it, while I was taking a look at the recent changes. Thank you for warning me. Sinek 18:40, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

dolor
Please could you take a look at the Catalan entry for dolor as it doesn't have an inflection line template. Connected with this, do you think the word dolorós comes from the Latin dolōrōsus? I couldn't find any websites which provide Catalan etymologies. There's also some confusion with doleros and doloros as the Old French derivation from the Latin dolōrōsus, and I decided on the former in the end; is this correct? Thank you.

 * Both the GDLC and the DCVB are online and usually provide etymologies for their words and they "agree" that dolorós comes from dolōrōsus. (The DCVB tends to use a form that ignores Latin inflectional endings, and both make use of breves when accenting Latin rather than Wiktionary's macron-only standard.  As for Old French, I can't really comment. — Carolina wren discussió  20:40, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I have a volume on Old French at home and will see if I can find anything. If I don't post some kind of answer by Friday (even a "didn't find anything), then just give me a nudge. --EncycloPetey 22:49, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
