Dear 2401:4900:55a5:784d:4d80:d4ab:d020:805b, in view of an attached footnote that gives the lemma asAngolia, by what authority do you change the name of the country toAngola? Have you checked the text in the footnote and found that it says the word is actuallyAngola, notAngolia? That could be right, but please tell us! (The cited text is apparently unavailable without purchase or a subscription.)Angola would indeed seem to be supported by the species epithetangolensis (notangoliensis), as seen inPhyllanthus angolensis. Also, the name as it first appeared in a European text (Portuguese!) appears to have beenAngola, derived from the local titlengola (notngolia). In contrast,Wictionary gives the lemma asAngolia. Has someone authoritative published a list of the Latin names of countries? Or is it in a reliable gazetteer? Maybe Hofmann?IacobusAmor (disputatio)12:10, 15 Septembris 2023 (UTC)
