## [recensere] Spelling

We had a discussion on this somewhere, didn't we? I don't know of any Latin words that begin with Sch-, so I suspect we'll find a better spelling than this one.

Wormius, recommended to me by Iustinus, uses Cacao for the plant and its bean, Chocolate for the product, both probably indeclinable. See this page. Should we go with that? A nd rew D alby 13:15, 8 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

  Disputatio:Pagina_prima#Chocolate_.3D_Tzocolate.3F is where the discussion was. I prefer something indeclinable than "schocolata" for sure.--Ioshus (disp) 13:27, 8 Februarii 2007 (UTC)
    Why not declination: socolata, socolatae, socolatae etc. vel Smith/Hall chocolatum, -i, -o, etc. PONS: chocolata, -ae, -ae, etc. --Alex1011 13:48, 8 Februarii 2007 (UTC)
      I could go with any of those. chocolata, -ae, -ae (as in PONS) is perhaps the closest to forms in several modern languages, so I'd perhaps choose it for preference. A nd rew D alby 14:21, 8 Februarii 2007 (UTC)
        This is fine for me. I just can't deal with that S.--Ioshus (disp) 14:23, 8 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

There are plenty of Latin words that start with sch-, it's just a silly way to represent [∫] (though from another point of view, it's no sillier than sh or ch). The word I usually use, and have used on wiki before, is the biological theobroma--apparently calqued off a native word. But asside from that there are plenty of Latinized spellings. Let's start listing attestations in an organized format. --Iustinus 16:53, 8 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

  Yes, of course there are! I've been out of schola for too long. A nd rew D alby 22:01, 8 Februarii 2007 (UTC)

It does seem that socolāta is by far the most widely attested spelling in out 20th century sources. Wish we could find some more stuff the 16th century and on though. --Iustinus 00:46, 9 Februarii 2007 (UTC)
