In italiano, le parola es de facto "computer" (io suppone que "calcolatore"
ha le mesme significato que "calculator" in interlingua e nederlandese). In
germano, "Computer" se usa frequentemente al latere de "Rechner" como
synonymo. In danese, il es equalmente "computer". Pawel Wimmer ja vos
corrigeva quanto al polonese. Io non ha potite verificar vostre altere
datos, mais considerante iste inaccuratessas, io debe questionar lor
credibilitate.

Le criterio pro eligibilitate de un parola non-grammatical in interlingua
es le si-nominate "regula de tres". Si un parola occurre in tres del quatro
sequente unitates linguistic:
(1) anglese
(2) francese
(3) "iberico" (espaniol/portugese)
(4) italiano
(ubi le germano e le russo pote reimplaciar un del quatro linguas), alora
le parola es eligibile pro inclusion in interlingua.
Proque? Lege <http://www.interlingua.com/ied/> sub "Method and techniques"
pro le rationamento.
Iste methodo rende duo formas valide del parola in question in
interlingua: "computator" como derivation regular del parola
eligibile "computar", e "computer" proque illo occurre in iste forma in
anglese, italiano, e germano (prestate in iste duo linguas).
Iste discussion deberea cetero esser continuate in le "collateralista", le
foro del grammatica <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/interlingua-coollist/>
ubi illo comenciava.
Totevia io non vos ha vidite antea in iste foro, e io vole dar vos le
benvenita cordial. Io spera que vos potera participar tosto in interlingua.
Salutes amical,
