Talk:From Ritual to Romance/Chapter VII

This is the note I left at Wikpedia's reference desk regarding the paragraph following footnote 16:

I am trying to convert a document from plain text that has the following note. (Note: Weston's first "Titan" above had schwa accents over the vowels, the second "Titan" had macron accents over the vowels). I found what the macron accent was but I can find no reference to a schwa accent that could be put over a vowel. From all I see a schwa is ə. Here is the lines the note is refering to with the macrons added in: M. Van Gennep in his Rites du Passage, that the original form was Titan, 'White-clay men,' which later became Tītān, 'Giants,' and she draws attention to the fact that daubing the skin with white clay is a frequent practice in these primitive rituals. Any help would greatly appreciated the full text is at s:From Ritual to Romance/Chapter VII. The paragraph follwing the 16th footnote.--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 00:52, 9 February 2006 (UTC)--BirgitteSB 01:07, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
