Furca _and_ fossa?
I'm new to the expression "furca and fossa" which is used a few times. I should think that "furca" as well as "fossa" are Latin words, however "and" is English. Unless this is a traditional, well-known, or otherwise documented practice I suggest to replace the (misplaced) English "and" with the (proper) Latin "et" (meaning "and" in English) -- creating the consistent single-language expression "furca et fossa". However, if the term is commonly used as a mixture between Latin an English, please keep it that way, and pardon my ignorance. clsc (talk) 19:36, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
