I strongly disagree,

* for the average LFN-user, "bishop" isn't a word that
will be used very frequently, so no requirement for it
to be short

* when the source languages disagree as to the form
that the basic word should take, it seems good to me
to look to the form of the Latin original and/or to
the form of related words in the source languages

* "bispal" is not going to be recognisable for
anywhere as many people as "episcopal", it must
therefore be better to derive the base form from an
internationally known adjective than to pick a base
form from just one of the source languages

Nick
