Clearly, I* too* am of that unlucky number.

Thanks for the close read 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).

If, under RDA, we are to cease abbreviations, how are folks planning to
spell out “T.p. verso” in note fields?



Some thoughts:



Title page verso

Title-page verso

Title page, verso

Title-page, verso

Verso of title page

Verso of title-page



Or is verso to arcane or Latinate for today’s end-user?



Suggestions?



Best,



Will
