Being a novice user, I still have much to learn in terms of languages, etymology and historical linguistics. Feel free to correct me on my talk page.
Explanation of my name
editI took the name Sylvanus (Latin, /silˈu̯aː.nus/, equivalent to English Woods) based on what I thought to be a semantic matching to my Chinese surname 梁. Upon reading the following definition for 梁 in the 說文解字 Shuowen Jiezi dictionary,
梁、水橋也。从木从水,刅聲。
I've come to the conclusion that perhaps Pontifex is a better translation.
