Prae-cox

If the etimology is prae-cox, then it can't be overrip, just the opposite. -Theklan (talk) 21:46, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

@Theklan: I assume they thought that “overripe” means “overly fast ripe”, “overtaking the other sorts in ripening”. But literally praecox is “early-ripe” indeed, and it is desired that crops never become overripe in the usual sense but reaped before they become so. Fay Freak (talk) 01:41, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
