It's Principes, not Principles... The singular is Princep or something like that

In latin Princep means Emperor; I am pretty sure that A: they are not emperors or B: princep has more than one meaning

Ok, sorry (yeah I know you're right, I was just being stubborn, plus had some little things [like the Italian pronounciation thing] that I needed to have explained)

I have an indian (descendant) client who pronounces V as W (eg 'valve' is 'walwe'), but I doubt the language roots are the same. I believe his family is from the Punjab.

actually V is pronounced as W in Latin; although I think you may have already mentioned this... if I am beating a dead horse, just ignore me..
