Nomes propre

Notas par Jorj (2017)

Here are the rules of capitalization in elefen as I understand them:

capitalize…

capitalize proper names:

but not these, even if a part of a proper name:

besides nouns, verbs and adjectives are also capitalized if a part of a name. eg. the United States. formal titles are considered a part of the name (San Micael, Re Joan, etc)

(note that some surnames in other languages include a preposition or other particle in small letters. they should be in small letters in lfn as well - but not translated. eg van Olffen)

capitalize taxonomic terms above the level of species ??? only in scientific usage, imho

do not capitalize the names of…

adjectives and verbs (other than those that are a part of proper names) are never capitalized.

abbreviated forms of expressions that would be in small letters if written out, should be in small letters when abbreviated, for example, lfn and ovn. The opposite would be true in cases like NATO, the UN, the SUA, etc.

Un discute plu vea (2013)

Esta viki necesa un manual de stilo. Me es a veses confondeda cuando tradui la nomes de locas jeografial… cuando on los tradui (o interscrive en spele ortografial con la alfabeta de lfn), o cuando on no los tradui.

Un nom de pais es interscriveda/traduida evidente: p.e., Xina, Corea, Deutxland, etc

Nomes de alga provinsias e statos es ance traduida, p.e. Colombia Brites, ma non tota.
