1. Do you have a precident for ursus maritimus or did you invent it?
2. What do you intend by pellis ursi blanca? I'm guessing "the bear's pelt is white"... but whatever your intended phrasing, the word for white is albus -a -um.
3. I have been led to believe that "bear" defaults to the feminine in Latin. That is to say, if you know the bear is male, you say ursus. Otherwise you say ursa.

  Ursus maritimus is the taxonomic/binomial name,according to en:polar bear. —Myces Tiberinus 03:10 ian 26, 2005 (UTC)

    Oh, duh!

## [recensere] Lost

Should "Lost" be translated into Latin or left English? And if Latin, what word should be used?

  VP:TNP doesn't cover this exactly, but given that it's a work originally in English, it should remain in English (until such time as they translate it into Latin...) —Mucius Tever 01:33, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)
    I don't watch the show, but gather that the characters are stranded on a tropical island. The poor bear! Was it "lost" too? IacobusAmor 04:02, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)
      If I understand right, the invisible monster guarding the hatch turned out to be a polar bear. --Iustinus 04:07, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)
        Invisible monster?! Good lord, what bit of television wonder have I been missing? Tropical islands, invisible monsters, polar bears, OH MY!--Ioshus (disp) 04:10, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)
          The polar bear was actually there because some sort of zoological experiment was conducted on the island before the people got stranded there. I think they shot the polar bear though. Poor guy...
            Whoah, my mistake... the things you miss when you edit wikipedia the same amount of hours a day that the average american spends watching tv =] --Ioshus (disp) 04:20, 30 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)
