[edit] Comitopuli dynasty

Why insist on this form?

The word derives only from Byzantine Greek, and the second vowel is an η. The rest of the word is Latinized; the only reason for the unique use of i is the interaction produced by transliterating first into Cyrillic and thence into the Roman alphabet. The standard authorities use e, from Ostrogorsky to the Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:53, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
