Latest comment: 13 years ago by Daytrivia in topic æ, not œ

Hello Kåre-Olav, welcome to Wikisource! Thanks for your interest in the project; we hope you'll enjoy the community and your work here.

You'll find an (incomplete) index of our works listed at Wikisource:Works, although for very broad categories like poetry you may wish to look at the categories like Category:Poems instead.

Please take a glance at our help pages (especially Adding texts and Wikisource's style guide). Most questions and discussions about the community are held at the Scriptorium.

The Community Portal lists tasks you can help with if you wish. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page! John Vandenberg (chat) 13:57, 2 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

æ, not œ

[edit]

I still see œ please look again. Thanks. Daytrivia (talk) 21:45, 7 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi, the font makes the æ look very similar to an œ (o + e), but it is an æ (a + e). Compare the æ to the a in creationis, and you will see that it makes sense, as æ = a + e. By the way, novæ creationis is the genitive of nova creatio "new creation". novœ crationis simply doesn't have any meaning at all. Kåre-Olav (talk) 14:56, 8 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
Okay, thanks for looking again and providing the above explanation and logic.Daytrivia (talk) 20:15, 8 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
