WP:NOTRIGHT

Yeah, I get that the source said "gate" is a mistranslation. Doesn't really matter, though, since he was wrong about that, particularly in context. Janua/ianua gets used for double-doored city gates and, if anything, that's a better image than treating language as a house. (Even if he were right, which—again—he ain't, it's really something to handle in a note or #Name section rather than in the article's lead sentence.) — LlywelynII 11:34, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
