I think that the term "hoax" was a bit inaccurate.

There's nothing that supports this in the OED and no hinting potential Latinate etymon in Lewis & Short. I checked dozens of b.g.c. hits for the singular and the plural forms, but all I could find were scannos except for a handful of uses of the surname Liator, an entry for which I have just created. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 17:39, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

I found this usage in the Star Trek universe (!): [1]. Perhaps a Trekkie added it? Equinox ◑ 21:35, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

That site, as well as the episode's script, suggests that Liator is the character's name, and therefore a proper noun, not a common noun. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 21:19, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Liator is already created, capitalized. TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 21:25, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I created it; however, it's listed as a surname, and not as a given name or as a common noun. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 21:50, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

I initially speedy deleted this as a hoax and, it's still looking like a hoax. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:26, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
