Carus puts the commata etc. right next to the syllable it belongs before
the word extension. That will look okay, too, I think.
Wow. I've seen "stigmata", "dogmata", "lemmata", and even "melismata", but "commata" is new to me. I can see the logic, since "comma" does indeed derive from Greek, but to a native Anglophone it looks very odd. Are there dictionaries where they teach the "-mata" plural for any Greek-derived "-ma" word?
