Spelling?

Is it EncoNium, or EncoMium? Th eimage seems to show the latter, but the page itself is the former. GRAHAMUK 10:43, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Greek?

Encomium is a greek word? Sounds Latin to me.

The word encomium written in the Roman alphabet is a Latin word, but it is originally, and very obviously, a Greek word. The Greek word ἐγκώμιον comes from the Greek words ἐν ("in") and κῶμος ("village festival," where a victor or other person was praised), hence the substantive ἐγκώμιον originally meaning "a song in honor of a conqueror, a eulogy." --74.140.205.36 (talk) 03:33, 11 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
