Latinized

[Robin Leech]

Yes, but EVEN the English change.  If you have access to THE COMPACT OXFORD
ENGLISH DICTIONARY, 1991, page 945, you will find "Latinize".  If you
have access to the full, 20-volume set, then under the "L" volume, check
page 689, for the same information.  There is no entry under "Latinise".
Not to worry, Neal - it is written with a capital "L" in the OED.
