Disputatio:Abecedarium
E Vicipaedia
This thing needs a major rewrite. The Latin alphabet isn't even printed, for instance, just spelled out. And I don't think it's helpful to say "Aleph, id bos est," because, for one it no longer looks like the cow it once represented, and two, its a letter not a bos. It should be explained that the letters were derived from animal (and other things) names, not just thrown out there "id est". It would be helpful also to describe the origins of the alphabet, and how the letters evolved from Phoenecian. Several more alphabets should be added, and from the closely related ones, a table might be useful showing the characters in the same line of sight, rather than aligned left all down the page. I intend to do all this, I'm not just expecting someone else to make this changes. Just wanted to put something on discussion page, because I intend to seriously restructure this article, and wanted to let any previous authors have a word in edgewise.--Ioshus Rocchio 20:42, 31 Ianuarii 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. I'll remove the 'id est's, and add the letter sounds. Dbmag9 18:15, 25 Aprilis 2006 (UTC)
- Et quoque quisquis hoc scripsit nesciebat praepositionem "e, ex" casui servire ablativo, non nominativo. Articulum nominibus litterarum caret Latinarum; prosit scire quomodo litterae Latine dicatur.--Carolus 15:50, 26 Augusti 2006 (UTC)
