Misinterpretation of the Greek spelling
I would like to point out that the reconstucted Ancient Greek (classical and postclassical) pronunciation accepted by most scholars of οὐάτεις (like all cases with ου + vowel) is [oː-]/[oːw-] or [uː-]/[uːw-] and not the simple glide [w] without the full vowel [oː] or [uː] before. You can check Vox Graeca by W. Sidney Allen or The pronunciation of Greek and Latin, the sounds and accents by Edgard H. Sturtevant.--Carnby (talk) 09:03, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
 * RFC comment: cool! What am I supposed to comment about? &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 02:18, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Removed RFC tag: There's no question, dispute or proposal in the RFC summary... if this was about a simple edit, you can make it your self or use edit request if you don't want to make the change your self for some reason. If you intended to ask or propose something, re-add the RFC tag with that included in the summary. -- lTopGunl (talk) 10:22, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * It isn't a Greek word, though, it's a Gaulish word written in the Greek alphabet and was certainly pronounced with /w/, probably /wa:tis/. Angr (talk) 12:38, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
