Disputatio:Equus (scacci)

Eques, equus, saltator

Ex capsa: "Neander movit paginam Eques (scacci) ad Equus (scacci): Sic aliae linguae excepta Anglica.)"

Excepta Anglica? Hardly!—equus, though, does have the majority (here omitting the unknown be-x-old:Вершнік (шахматы)):

So perhaps a better exordium would be: "Equus, vel eques, vel saltator"? IacobusAmor (disputatio) 00:30, 12 Augusti 2012 (UTC)

Gravi profecto testimonio superlationem meam — et quidem eam, quae hominem scientificum indeceat — demonstrasti! Si equitem aut/et saltatorem fonte extravicipaediano confirmare potueris, facile propositum tuum accipiam. Ego fontem habeo, qui equum et caballum confirmet.

• Was the soure reliable or did it invent new words?
