Latin Spelling and Pronunciation edit
I reverted your reversion of the article on Latin spelling and pronunciation. The monophthongization of /æ/ in unaccented syllables (such as in Troiae) took place early in the republican period. Such unaccented syllables included morphological endings. (Corssen I, 687 ff.) If you wish to discuss this further, please do so in either your talkpage, mine, or the article's discussion section.

Centipede and Millipede edit
According to the OED, and contrary to your claim at Octopus, both "centipede" and "millipede" are Classical Latin, and are attested in Pliny's Natural History, as centipeda and mīlipeda respectively. —Dominus (talk) 23:26, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
