Canning[fontem recensere]
Words gives conditio as "method of preserving (food)", so conditio tunarum? in pyxes ferreas should do the trick (I think). Or would you use some kind of gerundive here? Condendus? Harrissimo 14:56, 1 Ianuarii 2008 (UTC).
- But conditio thunnorum in pyxibus stannis is a definition, not a word. Maybe conditio all by itself would work? IacobusAmor 16:47, 1 Ianuarii 2008 (UTC)
- Yes - I just added in the pyxes so the reader doesn't get confused with any of the many meanings of conditio and end up thinking there's some sort of genetic engineering plant going on - Carolus Thunnus' backdrop does look a bit sinister ;) Harrissimo 17:15, 1 Ianuarii 2008 (UTC).
- Actually, is a diminutive available for "Charlie"? Carolus already looks like one, and Carololus would look odd.
- I presume the form Carellus is a double diminutive and some lexica just point Carellus to Carolus but none actually say anything about diminution. Harrissimo 19:15, 1 Ianuarii 2008 (UTC)

Cannery[fontem recensere]
And a cannery would be a conditionarium? IacobusAmor 17:55, 1 Ianuarii 2008 (UTC)
- I can't say anything certain. From the few conditionarium results, most are in a mathematical or grammatical conetext. The derivative word is conditorium, but that obviously acquired the wrong two contexts for "cannery". And I don't think we should coin either :S. So that leaves us with having to either make a two-word combo (≈Fabrica conditionis) or take a dubious conditionarium. Harrissimo 19:15, 1 Ianuarii 2008 (UTC).
