  Latine non utimur virgula (comma) inter nomina urbis et civitatis. Si necesse est, possumus uti genitivo (Nazaretha Galilaeae, Lutetia Parisiorum). Non scio si hic necesse est; pro tempore movi ad Castrum Vorthi. Andrew Dalby 11:14, 22 Martii 2007 (UTC)
    The database of names of Catholic Diocese list Fort-Worth as Arcis-Vorthum. I think this makes sense because Fort Worth is not literally a fort, but a base of military operations along with a sprawling city in the metropolitan are around Dallas. Also, this rendering makes the name one word and eliminates the need for the genitive of Vorthum.Andy85719 21:35, 17 Iulii 2007 (UTC)
      Well, firstly in Arx towns (Arcis is just the website showing the genitive (unless of the stronghold Worth is acceptible as a name)) you have to separate the words (e.g. Arx Tavastae in Finland) unless you add -burgum (so Arx Tavastae could be Tavasteburgum). The problem with that is (like you said) F.W. isn't the site of a castle style fort so Arx would have to be used. I also doubt that you could get around the genitive so the answer would be Vorthi Arx (or the other way around - but Graesse prefers to put Arx, Portus etc. to the end of a place name.) --Harrissimo 22:28, 17 Iulii 2007 (UTC)
        Well, the Catholic Diocese list is a solid source -- at least as good as Graesse. But it gives adjectives, and the adjective is "Dioecesis Arcis-Vorthensis". Unless one of us is in contact with the bishop of Fort Worth, that (I think) as far as we can get with that source. (Andy, please correct me if you have found a noun form of this name somewhere on the Catholic site!)
        In modern Latin, hyphens are often added to form adjectives out of names that originally consist of more than one word: you have to separate the words, as Harrissimo says. I diagnose the base form here to have been Arx Vorthi (I admit it might have been Arx Vorthus or Arx Vorthensis but I agree that a genitive is most likely.) On that basis, I would go for Arx Vorthi.
