<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Latin forms of names (or any other form) are added as references in the NAF *if* there is usage to justify the form. (Or for that matter one might be chosen as the preferred
name if it is the most common form.)<br>
<br>
Note: only nominative forms should be used as the authorized access point or for variant access points. If the usage found is in another case (accusative, ablative, etc.) it should be converted to nominative. So in the case below, Johannem Wesselium would be
converted to Johannes Wesselius (and then further manipulated by inverting the form to "Wesselius, Johannes").<br>
