Talk:Latvian alphabet

message: I would like to hear more about the letters which are no longer used in Latvian. Here's a relevant article by the way: http://latviansonline.com/index.php/news/article/3302/ — 121.210.52.106 10:40, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Right, but it has only become an allophone because of that spelling reform that removed the letter—and not vice versa. Chortos‑2 (talk) 12:43, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

text: Oh, and <ch> is not just a loan from German. <ch> was used to represent , while <h> was used to represent . Chortos‑2 (talk) 12:54, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

text: Before 1950 (this includes 1930 and 1940) ch was used there where these days is used just h. Ch, if used these days, is used as replacement for č, where this letter is not available or not available reliably (email, sms, embedded systems). Many people these days does not recognize difference between r and ŗ (so cannot use ŗ)(although, if there is used ŗ in texts, it dows not damages readability, too much). Letter o in latvian may have 3 pronounciations and ō would reduce ambiguity, however this affects readability more. Also, difference between o and ō (versus uo), usually, is not very significant. -Yyy 14:40, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If readability is concerned, the other letters with diacritical marks should be removed as well. Do you not agree? :) Chortos‑2 (talk) 12:44, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

text: <ch> and <h> represented different phonemes (see my comment above). Chortos‑2 (talk) 12:54, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, i have never seen letter h alone in books published before 1950 (there were always ch). If there is a difference between ch and h, then in that case, sound which corresponds to h does not exists in latvian language. Actually, it seems, that h (ch) occurs only in loanwords. Removal of other diacritical marks will not improve readability, because text will become very ambiguos. -Yyy (talk) 12:07, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Obsolete / historic letters 

message: In present-day Latvian, the letter O is used used for two sounds: the diphthong "uo", and a simple "o", particularly in loan words (e.g. telefons). Can this be information be added, with the necessary IPA pronunciation? — Zalktis 11:26, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Name change 

message: Louis E Cauz's book The Plate, A Royal Tradition (ISBN 0-88879-104-6) chronicles quite clearly the development of the race. Originally the races were open to all ages of horses "raised, bred, and trained, and owned in the Province of Ontario that have never won a match, purse or sweepstakes." Heat races ended in 1869 replaced by a single "dash".
1939 was the first year the race was contested exclusively for three-year-olds who were "the property of a British subject resident in Ontario, foaled, raised and trained in Ontario, that have never won a race either on the flat or across country, other than a race exclusively for two-year-olds, have never left Canada, and have never been for a period of more than three months out of this Province." Races outside of Woodbine Park were held in Guelph (1864), London (1865, 1869, 1878, 1882) Hamilton (1866, 1874) St. Catherines (1867), Newmarket Race Course Toronto (1868), Whitby (1870) Kingston (1871), Ottawa (1872, 1880), Barrie (1873), Woodstock (1875), Prescott (1877), and Picton (1879). 76wins (talk) 16:41, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Justin Berry/Archive 2

message: I recently wrote a subjective analysis of Berry's appearance on today's (rerun) episode of Oprah on my talk page.  Unlike what I've written here, it isn't trying to objectively analyze the fact set, but rather to give my impression upon observing Berry in the act of telling his story.  It may be illuminating, or it may just be one man's opinion.  Take it for what it's worth.  We should, however, work up inclusion of some of the details Berry & Kurt Eichenwald gave on the show into this article, so it becomes less dependent on the New York Times as a source, and, hopefully, less controvesial by having a broader base of support.--Ssbohio 02:14, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Daphnis and Chloe

message: There's an impressive amount of misinformation here. There's no evidence that Longos lived in the 2nd century; the characters are certainly not conventional, but rather parodies; it was Daphnis, not Chloe, that was kidnapped by pirates; Chloe has more rivals than Daphnis does (Daphnis is the one that has a fling with a prostitute); and there's no mention of the opera or the ballet, either of which is just a tad more important than a passing similarity in one plot element to a relatively obscure 1980s film.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.195.86.40 (talk) 03:00, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Well... first of all, it's not unheard of for buildings to be designed, and then not constructed until many years later.  Whether this was the case here, I don't know.  As for the White House, let us not forget that the South Portico was not added to the White House until 1824, so it is quite possible that Rastignac's rounded portico served as inspiration for the White House's South Portico.

thread_title:  Greek or Macedonian? 

message: Is in fact what the name means. The prefix φίλο's from the adjectival form of φίλος concerning all forms of affection, not the noun whose meaning is more circumscribed. Since the "Behind the Name" page is (a) much less authoritative on Greek than Liddell; (b) in fact an unreliable source in general; and (c) demonstrably wrong in this instance, I removed it. Since the rest of the commentary by the editor (apparently someone teased for being named Philip) was completely contradicted by the reliable sources, I removed it.
The point about "horse-loving [man]" being a metonym for "noble" is interesting and plausible, so left that, but it needs a source to avoid seeming like more WP:OR. — LlywelynII 01:20, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
