Helvetia 'oH wa' pong'e' ghajbogh Sep. 'ach wa' pong 'oHbe' Helveti*c*a'e'. Helvetica is the typeface (font) name, not the name of the country. Switzerland is called the Confoederatio Helvetica (i.e., the Swiss Confederation), which is sometimes Helvetia (no "c") for short, but never Helvetica, which would be an adjective ("Swiss"). -- De'vID
indeed ! here we say "elvetia", with the stress being placed on the "i". we never say "elvetika" to describe the region. we only say "elvetika" to use it as an adjective. qunnoH jan puqloD ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta' On 24 Dec 2016 11:55 am, "De'vID" <de.vid.jonpin@gmail.com> wrote:
