Why is it aestomate and not aestimate?

That's how it appeared in Matthew's posting.

Well, I hope I'm wrong (and I very often am), but it strkes me as incorrect Latin so it's worth checking before you go to print, as it were. It's at least non-standard.

My thanks to Guy for pointing out that aestimate had wrongly transmogrified to aestomate. It should indeed be aestimate, the plural imperative of aestimo. Aestomo doesn't exist. Fortunately, the phrase is correct (aestimate) in my forthcoming book. Erucam is correctly vocative.
