I don't know about this redirect...right now in the article it says that Alimenta is [[Cibus]]...--Ioshus (disp) 13:30, 6 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

[recensere] Alimentus=cibus

I did the redirect. I check now the italian dictionary and "alimento" is what gives the body energy and reconstruction elements, so it can't be water. Therefore from my point of view alimentum is not cibus + potio--Massimo Macconi 15:22, 6 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

Water absolutely gives the body reconstruction elements, seeing as how the body is almost 80% water. Furthermore, water is not the only potio in the world. Milk is a potio, orange juice, etc. They give vital reconstruction elements like vitamins D, C, calcium, iron, etc.
Furthermore, many cibi do not give energy or reconstruction elements like junk foods (or if the do give energy it is simple energy not complex). Some food actually makes you more sick than it makes you well.--Ioshus (disp) 15:40, 6 Decembris 2006 (UTC)
For what it's worth: my 18th-century dictionary defines 'food' as: "Cibus, alimentum; victus." IacobusAmor 16:13, 6 Decembris 2006 (UTC)
Does your dictionary have a latin to eglish section? What's it say for alimentum?--Ioshus (disp) 16:30, 6 Decembris 2006 (UTC)
In my Langenscheidt alimenentum and cibus are partly the same thing but partly different. Cibus can also be for animals, also if you want to catch a fish. Alimentum seems to be in primis for humans: alimentum: food stuff, alimenta: food, provisions. --Alex1011 19:04, 6 Decembris 2006 (UTC)
