editHow about a page entitled 'Caput Succedaneum'? This is THE most common birth trauma (i think), even more common that cephalohaematomas, though very minor. I'd start the page but I'm not too sure how to write articles and wouldn't know how to link it under birth trauma. Squiggle 10:20, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- Belated. Note capitalization and spelling, apparently Squiggle's 2007 request missed this Jan 29, 2006 article caput succedaneum. although cephalohaematoma did come much earlier in Nov 27, 2004.
Kaput, Kabuto
editThe Latin caput is of course descended from the Indo-European Kaput, which may be a distant relative of the Japanese Kabuto, "helmet." Das Baz, aka Erudil 17:48, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Latin Grammar
editI believe the page should remain stand-alone. There should be more to say on this topic in due course. I note that the article Caput lists "Caput Baronium" with reference to Scottish feudalism. I believe the mediaeval Latin word "Baronia" (nom.) to be feminine, thus the genitive is "Baroniae", not "Baronium". Is the Scottish reference incorrect?

* At the source of River Nile, at lake Tanganyika- stands a notice board reading" CAPUT NILI MERIDIANISSIMUM" which roughly means' The Head of the Nile. Never seen the Nile but read an article in the Reader's Digest June 1960, page43, by Gordon Gaskill.

capot-kaputt-caput Cognation
editThe German word kaputt ("destroyed"), from which derives the English colloquialism 'kaput' or 'caput' (meaning done, or finished) is not related to this word. The origin of the German word, and consequently the English words is borrowing from the French: être capot, lit. 'to be bonnet' or fig. 'to be defeated'.
The French word capot comes from the Old French capote, which in turn is derived from the Latin Caput.

Caput baroniae
edit"Caput baroniae" is often shortened to "caput"[1]. The Wiktionary entry does not include this sense of the word, and so the soft redirect is inadequate in this case. ZFT (talk) 21:26, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
I don't think I have enough knowledge of the subject(s) to be the one to add it to Wiktionary, nor to go through every article that links to "caput" and change the links of the ones that are referring specifically to "caput baroniae" to link to the latter. ZFT (talk) 21:37, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
