Some remarks are passed on the spelling of medical and scientific technical terms in German. In the present writer's opinion, the orthography according to Duden disfigures words from Latin origin for the most part since Latin c is written as a k before a, o, u and as a z before e and i. Also words of Greek origin are murdered if borrowed via Latin: x becomes c in Latin and than z in German if before e and i. An alternative recommendation given by Eschenbach could be acceptable for the most terms of Latin source but not for such borrowed from Greek. Especially Eschenbach is up to mischief if he proposes his alternative orthography also for words which are borrowed from Latin 1,000 years ago and are used by everybody in the colloquial German language. The better system of orthographic handling the Latin- and Greek-derived terms in German is published by Jansen (1907).
