Talk:Boronia cremnophila

Etymology of cremnophila
Russell Barrett, in naming and describing this boronia, wrote "[T]he epithet is from the Latin cremnos (cliff) and -philus (loving), in reference to the cliff-dwelling habitat of this species." However, the Latin word for 'cliff' appears to be praecipitium, or possibly scopulus and the Greek for 'cliff' is kremnos. The ending -philus is a Greek suffix meaning '-loving'. It would seem that Barret et. al. wrote "Latin" when they meant "Greek". I propose to replace the word "Latin" with "Greek" in the article. Gderrin (talk) 04:31, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * In case, Latin was the single mistake, cremnos with a c, instead of a k and -philus with -us instead of -os are still inconsistent. The last few days you have replaced your earlier etymological analyses based on Brown, by etymological descriptions based on secondary sources. And in a few cases, etymologies were added that are clearly at odds with Brown. Did those seconday sources made a small mistake (that is clearly isolated), or are some of those secondary sources infested with etymological errors? You current ad-hoc solution in the text, is to make a correction based on Wiktionary and additionally obscuring what the primary source wrote. In case it would be a secondary source, we can simply delete the source, as it seems of no use to present false etymologies provided by secondary sources as the secondary source have failed to make a proper etymological analysis.Wimpus (talk) 08:12, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
