Is there any recent authoritative text on medical, anatomical, physiological, etc. terms in Esperanto?

It looks like this is your first message on the Lernu forums. So, first, let me say welcome. ridulo.gif

In short, yes.
  • PIV 2005 is the authoritative dictionary of Esperanto, written in Esperanto! It is a general dictionary, not a specialist dictionary. So, anatomical words are distributed throughout the text.
  • Anatomia Nomenklaturo is devoted to anatomical words. The dictionary is in Chinese, English, Esperanto, French and Latin.
  • Angla-Esperanta Medicina Terminaro is a medical dictionary organized by English words with corresponding Esperanto words. If you're new to Esperanto and want to focus on medical terms, you should probably start here.
  • Atlaso de Insekta Morfologio is devoted to insect anatomy in English, Latin and Chinese.
  • ESPDIC deserves honorable mention here as well. It's an electronic dictionary in the format of EO WORD : EN WORD. It's extremely useful when when searching for obscure words.
  • Wikipedia (Esperanto edition) is handy, but hardly authoritative.
That's about all I can think of at the moment. Was that useful to you?

I have been wondering about the same thing, but I need something that can be used for free online, and that lets you search the English word to get the Esperanto one, as often all I have is the English word (or a Latin one). ESPDIC works for this, but gave no results for most of the obscure words I tried (just a moment ago). Looks very useful, though.

Speaking of Wikipedia (Vikipedio), the article "Inversskribo" is my doing, I translated it from English (Mirror Writing), but could not find a translation for "thalamus," no matter how I tried, so that word is untranslated to this day! So, if anyone knows the word for "thalamus," they can improve my article. ridulo.gif
