German edit
In I, you wrote "I longa". What is that? It doesn't look like German to me. —Stephen (Talk) 21:49, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Stephen G. Brown: longa is the feminine form of the Latin adjective longus which means long. I longa is a longer I which in ancient times was sometimes used in Latin.
One can also find this term in this English dictionary: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/i%20longa . Though this dictionary entry might be incomplete or incorrect. I longa originally marked long vowel i (or with macron ī), but was also used (or misused) in other situations. At least that's what German scholars stated in a Latin grammar. Furthermore, \ē\ might rather be the English than the Latin pronunciation. -80.133.97.211 22:02, 10 January 2017 (UTC)
