Etymology
[edit]Hi, @Mahagaja, can you help with the etymology of this word? I'm not clear how Ancient Greek ἐνυπόστατος (enupóstatos) (see the reference) relates to the English word, which has a different suffix. — SGconlaw (talk) 11:31, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Sgconlaw: ἐνυπόστατος (enupóstatos) is an adjective;
{{R:LSJ}}says it means 'substantial', while{{R:LBG}}says it means 'having its own property'. If -ία (-ía) were added to it, you'd get ἐνυποστασία (enupostasía), but that isn't listed in either of those two dictionaries. —Mahāgaja (formerly Angr) · talk 13:01, 30 November 2017 (UTC)- Looks like enhypostasia may be a Latin coinage, then. Thanks! I may need your help with anhypostasia later. — SGconlaw (talk) 14:33, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
Plural form
[edit]@Nloveladyallen: regarding the plural form enhypostasias, don't we need "at least three independent instances spanning at least a year" (WT:ATTEST)? I think that was the reason why the plural was indicated as unattested in the first place. — SGconlaw (talk) 14:58, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
- Oh, I didn't realize the same rules applied to plurals as do to lemmas. Feel free to revert. Nloveladyallen (talk) 15:25, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Nloveladyallen: OK, moved it to Citations:enhypostasia for now. — SGconlaw (talk) 15:37, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
