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.
