Publisher's Synopsis

A descriptive essay on the principal patterns within each section of the Roman onomastic structure, with particular attention devoted to oddities, curios, and exceptions. In covering phonological variations, morphology, word formation, syntax, semantics, and provenience of names, the author shows that the irregularities and unpredictable variants are too numerous and complex to be explained away by specious "rules."
