Pomoerium
This appears to be a dictionary entry. Suggest Transwiki to the Wiktionary. Snorgenhorpher 06:32, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Transwikify per nom. Its resource is a dictionary... Zordrac  (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 10:29, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * By all means copy it to the Wiktionary but deleting it here seems a little officious and it would withdraw the implicit invitation to develop the encyclopaedic aspects of the subject. With a relatively obscure topic like this, we may need to wait some time for that invitation to be taken up. (RJP 10:33, 7 December 2005 (UTC))

 * Keep According to the OED pomerium is an obsolete form of pomoerium so the former should become the redirect. It looks as though the former is mainly about a specific pomoerium though - that of Rome.    Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  13:46, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect per Rodii. I think that pomerium is the usual English spelling.  There's also an early music ensemble called Pomerium.  Smerdis of Tlön 15:32, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I think the Oxford English Dictionary should be taken as authoritative on which version should be the redirect.   Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  13:34, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: in Classical Latin, pomerium is the usual form, and the one that occurs in White's and the Oxford Latin Dictionary. ; pomoerium is an archaic suggestion from Varro. Smerdis of Tlön 19:24, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
