> 
> 2. msgid "Greek 'cuprum' for Cypres"
> 
> The aforementioned string describes the origin of the name "Copper".
> Cuprum is a latin word, not Greek, and according to Wikipedia "In
> the Roman era, copper was principally mined on Cyprus, hence the
> origin of the name of the metal as сyprium (metal of Cyprus), later
> shortened to сuprum"
> 
> 
> 3. msgid "'Gallia' is an old name for France"
> 
> The aforementioned string describes the origin of the name "Gallium".
> I think that saying that Gallia is the old name of France is
> misleading. Again, according to Wikipedia "Gaul (Latin: Gallia,
> French: Gaule, Dutch: Gallië, German: Gallien, Greek: Γαλλία) was a
> region of Western Europe during the Iron Age and Roman era,
> encompassing present day France, Luxembourg and Belgium, most of
> Switzerland, the western part of Northern Italy, as well as the
> parts of the Netherlands and Germany on the west bank of the Rhine.
> "
> 
> 
> 4. msgid "Latin 'germania' is an old name for Germany"
> 
> The aforementioned string describes the origin of name "Germanium".
> Like the 'Gallia' case, you can see
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germania .
> 
> 
> 5. msgid "Ruthenia is the old name of Russia"
> 
> The aforementioned string describes the origin of the name
> "Ruthenium". Same as above, you can see
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruthenia
> 
> 
> 6. msgid "Greek 'rhodeos' means 'red like a rose'"
> 
> The aforementioned string describes the origin of the name "Rhodium".
> But, greek ρόδιος (rhodeos) means "from Rode". Probably, the
> intended word was ρόδινος (rodinos) which means "rosy"
> 
> 
> 7. msgid "Greek 'dysprositor' for 'difficult to reach'"
> 
> The aforementioned string describes the origin of the name
> "Dysprosium". Nevertheless, there is no such word in Greek. The
> right word is δυσπρόσιτος (disprositos).
> 
> 
> 8. msgid "Like Terbium and Gadolinium, this is named after the
> Swedish town of Ytterby."
> 
> The aforementioned string describes the origin of the name
> "Ytterbium", saying that Gadolinium is named after Ytterby. But
> Gadolinium is named after the Finnish chemist Johan Gadolin",
> according to its description.
> 
> 
> 9. msgid "Greek 'astator' for 'changing'"
> 
> The aforementioned string describes the origin of the name
> "Astatine". Nevertheless, there is no such word in Greek. The right
> word is άστατος (astatos).
> 
> 
> 10. msgid "This name has Greek roots. It means 'like Platinum' - it
> was difficult to "
> "distinguish Molybdenum from Platinum."
> 
> The aforementioned string describes the origin of the name
> "Molybdenum". Nevertheless, it has no such a meaning. The origin of
> the name is Ancient Greek Μόλυβδος (molybdos), meaning lead, since
> its ores were confused with lead ores.
