覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
語名としては通常 Rota と大文字にし、「Rota島に結び付く言語・言語変種」という地名由来の名称として覚えます。英語の普通名詞 rota「当番表」は英国でよく使われ、語名とは文脈と大文字で区別します。言語資料では一つの標準語を指すとは限らず、島内の方言・近縁変種をまとめた呼称になり得る点にも注意します。
When this word names a language, write it as Rota and connect it with Rota Island: the place name identifies the speech variety or varieties associated with that island. Do not automatically confuse it with the British common noun rota, meaning a duty schedule. Capitalization and context normally separate the two. Also remember that a geographical language label does not always identify one uniform standardized language; linguistic descriptions may use it for a local variety, a dialect chain, or a group of closely related varieties.

rota の語源・成り立ち Etymology
rota は一般にはラテン語 rota「車輪」に由来し、rotate や rotary と同語根です。車輪のように順番が回る発想から「当番表」の意味が生まれ、語名としての Rota でも土地名にもとづく呼び名だと見ると理解しやすいです。
As a language name, Rota is based on the name of the island or locality with which the speech varieties are associated. This geographical label should be distinguished from the British English noun rota, “a duty schedule.” That separate noun comes from Latin rota, “wheel,” and acquired its scheduling sense through the image of duties rotating among people. The language label’s deeper place-name history should not be inferred solely from that Latin noun.
