I think German should also have the -es- element: "Pilowesisch". (Compare "chinesisch", "vietnamesisch", "kantonesisch" -- but "japanisch" not *"japanesisch".) For "Pilowisch" I would expect English "Pilovian", not "Pilovese". On Sun, Mar 30, 2008 at 5:45 PM, Eugene Oh <un.doing@...> wrote:

That's what I would expect. Or possibly Pilovézika, but I think here I'd prefer the version without -ez-. Cheers, -- Philip Newton <philip.newton@...>
