[DCRM-L] T.p. verso, unabbreviated

[Noble, Richard]

"Latinate" is surely too Latinate. I do think that our language of
cataloging ought to be Anglo-Saxon. Then we could spend a lot of our extra
time learning that, too--those of us not lucky enough to have read English
at Oxford back in the day (of which unlucky number I am a member).
