184 LATIN 
that Botanical Latin or Neolatin adjectives may be composed out of -col * adjective A 
endings (-us,- a,-um) to translate English adjectives ending in -colous (e.g. arboricolous) (cf. 
Brown, 1956) will find such renderings in the list. Those who feel that such Latinized 
adjectives may not be created will find the appropriate noun compound in -cola,-ae (s.c. I) in 
the same entry. 
I welcome suggestions and references, clarifications and additions that the user might wish to- 
forward to me. I thank Helene Bischler for sending me an advanced issue of the French 
equivalents so that I might in certain cases extract analogous Latin phrases and words based 
on that language. I am grateful to Richard Zander who enjoyed discussing and contributing 
semantic, syntactic and orthographic points of detail to the following series of Latin terms.
