Re: chocolate; I found socolata and chocolata, on Vicipaedia, but not chocolatum - should we amend or add? I've added socolata and amended chocolata with the Vicipaedia references. JimKillock (discuss • contribs) 19:29, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Walter Redmond's glossarium has socolata, socolatae potio, and chocolatum. I've seen chocolatum elsewhere and longer ago but socolata is probably more common in recent popular use, e.g. Harrius Potter. I just preferred the similarity to English and the neuter form is a simple one to teach the accusative. Chocolatum is also a homeopathic remedy, apparently! But no strong preference and the one preferred on Vicipaedia should be recognized. --CarpeLanam (discuss • contribs) 03:22, 18 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, digging around some more I did find some use of chocolatum although nothing in any dictionary as yet. It's also used as a word the colour chocolate in some biology names of bacteria it seems. JimKillock (discuss • contribs) 17:26, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
