ArchivesRe: Arisleidy
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
You are absolutely right. The plural of the Spanish moral is morales. Moreover, in Spanish, the words ending in -i are highly inusual, especially with not stressed -i (and a big part of them are words from other languages, as Italian)
Arisleidy is not a place name but simply a Hispanic made up name with leidy or leidi (and leidis, leydis...) used as a productive element (Yurisleidis, for instance); this "element" is a respelling of the English lady according to the Spanish phonetics rules (however, leidy is wrong because in Spanish the Y can't be a vowel). This kind of made up names is popular only in some countries, as Cuba, Colombia and Dominican Republic (and only among low educated people), and among Hispanic people in the USA.
