Beckwith's second problem is with linguists and lexicographers of Chinese. Writers who create dictionaries are called lexicographers. Most lexicographers, botanists, and biblical commentators translate "keneh bosem" as "cane balsam". Sulah Benet's claim has found increased support in the academic community among lexicographers and botanists. As there are many different types of dictionaries, there are many different types of lexicographers. The entries include many colloquialisms that were missed or ignored by other lexicographers. Lexicographers and publishers have editorial policies for treating ethnic slurs and insults. Present-day lexicographers reject this theory as conjectural and disproved. However, lexicographers regard generic names of chemical compounds as "verbal formulae" rather than English words. Lexicographers apply two basic philosophies to the defining of words&colon; "prescriptive" or "descriptive". Where lexicographers generally agree on a source language, the words are listed by language. Medieval Arab lexicographers derived the name from the verb "latta" (to mix or knead barley-meal). Remarkable is the ignorance of sources, except lexicographers, on Arcadian, Cypriot and Pamphylian. The origin of the word is unclear to lexicographers. That interpretation was followed by some later lexicographers, including Thomas Charles and Titus Lewis.
