User:Urszag/vowel-length

Questionable vowel lengths:

• limma: long or short? From a Greek diphthong, but before a geminate.
• Acmonia: why long o when Greek Ἀκμονία has short?
• Triocala: why long o when Greek Τριόκαλα (per Gaffiot) has short?
• Saguntum: why short u when Greek Σάγουντον has a diphthong? Is the Latin really from the Greek form?
• Musecros: Why short u when the declension indicates a form taken from Greek?
• acacia: middle a is given as long in Latin, but short in Greek. L&S gives ăcācĭa, but Gaffiot gives ăcăcĭa.
• marum: is the Greek source word long or short a? Acute or cirumflex on the first syllable?

• pēdīculō, pēdīculus, etc: long or short i? e depends on louse or foot?

Final -ia:

• angaria: Why short i when Greek "ἀγγαρεία" has a diphthong? L&S references "ἀγγαρία" instead.
• Alyzia
• aristolochia: Why short i when Greek "ἀριστολόχεια" has a diphthong? L&S references "ἀριστολοχία" instead.
