agree  Flavio Ferri-Benedetti: "Domine" would be another good vocative. /// "Dee" formally exists but "deus!" is a much more often used "vocative" in itself (really, it is an exclamative nominative, such as "nugae!": "nonsense!" / "trifles!")

  -> hi Flavio, thank you :) I suppose "dee" exists only formally and is never used in practice, right? + Ah, I see, many thanks :)

agree  Vicky Papaprodromou: Çi Kirill!
2 hrs
  -> Hi Vicky, long time no see :)

agree  María Roberto (X): agree w/ Flavio: "Domine" as a vocative.
4 hrs
  -> I think it also possible, but there is classical "Deus meus", so I suppose `Deus' is also OK
