Actually I have some sympathy with the student who wrote "analise" for
"analyse". I have always though that latter form, and its derivative,
"analyst" to be rather odd. Someone who performs analysis, one might
have thought, should be called an analysist; and I believe was so
called in the far-distant days of my youth. The "lys" is the aorist
stem of "luo", to loose, not a termination. "Analyst" is a barbarism,
concocted by someone ignorant both of Greek and of English
terminations. At least the student in question knew how to construct
an English word.
But please allow me to smile at my own pedantry before someone else has
a go at me. :-)
Oriens.
