Latin Spelling


In the descriptors fields, the ancient Latin spelling is used. Consequently::

  1. The letter "j" (lower or upper case) is always replaced by "i" (lower or upper case).
    Example: iustus or Iustus for justus ou Justus
  2. The letter "v" (lower case) is replaced by "u"
    Example: uita for vita; euangeluim for evangelium
  3. The letter "U" (upper case) is replaced by a "V"
    Example: Vrbs for Urbs
