Like all rules it breaks down under extreme conditions. Latin is a
very extreme case. Trying to compare ancient greek to it is insulting
to the intelligence of this mailing list.

Latin being dead is really only a technicality. It has a lot more
activity than many live languages. Ancient greek however is a fairly
standard dead language similar to say Coptic.

Greece has a population of a bit over 11 million. There are over 900
million catholics around. The two are not comparable. The Holy See has
direct control over a sovereign state. Greek Orthodox not so much.

Realistically you are suggesting we treat a Ring-tailed Lemur in the
same manner as a 900 pound gorilla.
