Despite my residence within the U.S., I think I'll stay with the "gue"
ending in my application (we 'mericans cost ourselves a great deal in our
efforts to be different solely for the purpose of being different....)

Out of curioisity, which sort of '-logue' is 'Protologue'?  Like
'catalogue', or like the others?

Aloha,
