[Foundation-l] Ancient Greek Wikipedia

[Christiano Moreschi]

Very true. 

As regards the necessity of using words from modern times that have no direct ancient Greek equivalents, it is always possible to use circumlocution. The Vatican, I believe, have invented a delightful Latin phrase for a computer. It's "instrumentum computatorium".

I love it.
