Talk:stibio

Unfortunately the word stibio do not exist in standard Italian or as a chemical term in nowadays language. The only reference I've found is in an old fashioned dictionary as a make up containing antimony (presumably antimony trioxide) in ancient Egypt ([1]). As a synonym for antimonio is very misleading. The straight translation for antimony is then antimonio. The root stibium came from Latin and can still be found in its chemical symbol (Sb) but is by no means used in today language. Please consider to dismiss this page, revise the meaning or refer to a proper citation. Thank you very much. --Avogadro-I 20:54, 21 October 2008 (UTC) mothertongue Italian chemist

• Now make more sense. Just a question about the plural of a noun. Does make sense in English antimonies or leads? The same in Italian, you will never hear stibi or piombi referring to an element, whose identity is one only. I doubt that it is correct to specify the plural, unless compulsory in Wikidictionary. Thank you very much indeed. --Avogadro-I 21:54, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
