richardhall:Your secret is out, Miland. You're getting commission on E-o dictionary sales, aren't you?Alas, I would miss out on verdaj steloj in the eskatono if I did that.
Better not to claim any commission, don't you think?

Miland:Better not to claim any commission, don't you think?Especially not since eskatono isn't in the Wells dictionary that arrived this morning.
Sticking my neck out, but if we're coining a word for Eschaton, I'd want to argue that it should be Eskato, not Eskatono.
The Greek root word is eschatos. Eschaton is the accusative form.
But thanks to you, via Mr Wells, I know with certainty that a lemur is lemuro, unless it's a flying lemur, in which case it is galeopiteko. Imagine! An hour ago I didn't know that there was such a thing as a 'flying lemur'. Now I have the Esperanto word for it. I just have to find a way of getting it into conversation...

richardhall:.. if we're coining a word for Eschaton, it should be Eskato, not Eskatono..I agree, the redundancy of the 'no' bit occurred to me too late. Mind you, it could be suitable for the knights in Monty Python & the Holy Grail's special E-o director's cut, who, having learned E-o, say 'No!' with even more devastating results than when they say 'Ni!'
richardhall:But thanks to you, via Mr Wells, I know with certainty that a flying lemur..is galeopiteko.This sounds like something prehistoric.
