- for say which forms are missing: Priscian "positiuum faris debet esse for, passiuum do debet esse dor."
- Go throughLatin river names ending in -a to find citations that show their gender. According to some grammars, names of this type are masculine in general, but some are feminine in exception to the usual rule for river names.
- Go through river names in -is to check accusative forms ending in -em vs. -im.
- fifth-declension nouns
- Third declension adjectives of one termination
- comparative-type adjectives likeprior andocior are currently misclassified as third-declension adjectives of one ending.
- Add more detailedcategories for Latin nouns
- Look over Module:la-verb, the module for Template:la-conj, to see whether it is possible to make improvements. Currently, some fourth-conjugation verbs likeerudio are shown with "contracted" forms like ērudiistī and ērudiimus; I believe that instead of these forms, it would be usual/attested to have ērudīstī and ērudīvimus (no contraction), respectively.

- Adverbs with dubious synthetic comparative forms:egregie,varie,elate
- sonivius,bifāx,dipsacos,plerusque,quinam
- adjectives in -nus and -neus:ficulnus,ficulneus,populnus,[1]
Syllabification and other pronunciation issues:

Before consonants:
Voicing of /s/ to [z] in ancient or Ecclesiastical Latin
[edit]S+sonorant in Latin:
- Word-initially, mostly /sm/, which is voiced [zm] in Greek, allegedly since ancient times:
- smaltum, smaragdus, smaris, smecticus, smegma, Smenus, Smerdis, Smila, smilax, Smyrna/Zmyrna, smyrus. There are spellings with "zm" as "Zymrna", which might be evidence for [zm]. Gaffiot mentions zm spellings for smaragdus, Smyrna, smyrnion/zmyrnium, smyrus.
- word-initial /sn/ we only have in New-Latin Snelandia, which I'd guess has hardly ever been pronounced aloud
- word-initial /sl/ we have in slavicus, Slovacia, and a couple related forms. Italian has [zl] in words spelled with "sl", most of which are from s-prefixed words I think (e.g. slabbrare, slacciare). The form "Sclavus" has "c" which it seems might go back to Greek forms. Gaffiot has only Slemnium for sl- words.
- word-inital /sr/ does not exist in Wiktionary, nor in Gaffiot or L&S.
- Word-medially, mostly /sm/:
- /sm/ in many Greek -ma and -mus/-mos words; also in Asmura, Asmīraea, alius-modi, nos-met... trans-m...
- /sn/ in Asnaus/Asnai; ...s-nam (cuius-, ecquis-, qualis-, quis-); trans-n... (-nato, -navigo, -no, -nominatio, -nomino, -numero)
- /sl/ in ...s-libet, trans-l..., legis-latio, proslambanomenos
- /sr/ in Cisrhenanus, Transrhenanus, Israel, disrumpo, disraro
- Lamse Rhamses vs. decemscalmus, etiamsi, circum- words.
- odd -culum/-cula words
- PIE *lewh₃- seems to be two roots, not one (loosen and wash)
- find information about the inflected form Jehovae
- Latin ge is still off inkerguelensis
- silvestris suffix
- -um genitives: unguentum
- rādula, tegula, regula: of a kind? "The Latin ‘tool’ Suffixes and the Formation of rēgula, tēgula, and trāgula" (Sihler)
