Write right, quite right: Orthography in Latin anatomical terms

Abstract

Spelling variants are common in Latin anatomical terms. Some of these variants cause confusion with respect to the meaning of the word by altering the base of the word to resemble a different word base. Thus these variants should be considered errors, comparable to errors in declension of nouns and adjectives, and errors in the formation of neologisms. Use of correct Latin words in Latin anatomical terms should increase the rigor, stability and universality of the nomenclature. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
