More on genders & correction
Just talked about this with George Olshevsky. Here are some comments he made:
When the trivial nomen is an adjective, the case and gender must match.
However, "rex" is used as a 'noun in apposition'. These do NOT have to
match the generic nomen in case and gender.
So, sorry about that. Edmarka rex it is.
