(By the way: > "protocoli(s|z)ed" the use of '-ize' is (a graecism) indicated by the OED as International English, as opposed to British, American etc. In fact, some call International English "British spelling with -ize" - it is not exactly that but close. One exception is 'analyse', but that is because linguists compromised on the "difficult" original 'analysize'.)

What's "analysize"? That's not a Greek word.

    Ah, it would have been the correct way to transfer it to English, it says, not that it's in any way original.

      Sorry, my imprecision. You spend ages trying to find proper expression, and yet... Well, this proves the importance of the effort.
