Karn Mithralia Neh'bu Kau Beh'Hude Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2008.07.14 02:40:00 - [331] Originally by: Nofonno First, I couldn't do it in five words only, since the Perfect Active Indicative is unfortunately ambiguous in Slovak (1st person sg. and 3rd person sg. are the same) and I have to use a reflexive pronoun ("som"). For your lexical pleasure vi veri vivus vici universum silou pravdy Piv², dobyl som vesmfr And what lingustic reference to AC would be complete without some (bad) gematria ... So V.V.V.V.V. = S.P.Z.D.S.V. I like the 5=6 connection ... S.P.Z.D.S.V. = 60 + 80 + 7 + 4 + 60 + 6 = 217 217 = 7 x 31, Crowleyites will like that. - Is the value of the proper noun meaning 'Light' - Is the value of Zayin spelt in full meaning 'sword' All very fitting. /me waits to be torn apart from bastardising slovak to english, then hebrew :P PS love to see if someone can unravel my corp name. -----------------------------------------

First - Demon, shew thyself! Second... Very intriguing corp name indeed! I'd probably say Neh'bu Kau Beh'Hude is a variant spelling of Nebu Kau and Behud, both of which are ancient Egyptian. The Egyptian deity Horus was often described as "Horus of Behud", so I'd run with a translation of "Divine Beings of Apollinopolis". But hey, my Ancient Egyptian is a bit rusty , so give me some leeway XD Alternatively it could be the much more modern usage of Behud (as used by the Scottish poet Dunbar et al), which is itself a variant of "behove", and has the sense of "behoved itself to come out". Which would give us something along the lines of "A summons of divine beings".

Pugnas Dei	Posted - 2008.07.14 10:18:00 - [335] Very interesting read. Please Mr Latinator what do you make of 'Pugnas Dei' and 'Vinctus Sola'. They are supposed to be 'God's Fist' and (loosely) 'free from the chains that bound them'
jna Caldari Black Ash Enterprises	Posted - 2008.07.14 10:55:00 - [336] Originally by: Pugnas Dei Very interesting read. Please Mr Latinator what do you make of 'Pugnas Dei' and 'Vinctus Sola'. They are supposed to be 'God's Fist' and (loosely) 'free from the chains that bound them' Pugnas dei isn't right, I'm afraid. Pugnas would be the Accusative Plural of pugna, pugnae (1st declension) meaning "fight or battle". "Fist", instead, is from pugnus, pugni (2nd declension). So you want either Pugnus dei for "The fist of God" or Pugni Dei for "The fists of God". "God's fight" would be Pugna Dei if you wanted that instead. Vinctus sola is an unusual construction, using "sola" in the sense of "relief or comfort". This is an updated medieval use from the Roman sense of "only/alone/solitude". However it's good (modern, by which I mean medieval) Latin. Vinctus is the Perfect Passive Participal Nominative Singular from vincio, vincire, vinxi, vinctus meaning "to bind, fetter or restrain", so being the PPP gets the sense of "being fettered", combined with the medieval use of sola as "relief (from)". Gold star for Vinctus sola. Thwack on the knuckles with a ruler for Pugnas dei ------------------------------------------------- Caeleste naves interretis res gravissimas sunt
Karn Mithralia Neh'bu Kau Beh'Hude Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2008.07.15 04:31:00 - [337] Edited by: Karn Mithralia on 15/07/2008 04:33:53 Originally by: jna How many gazillion miles off the mark am I, Karn? Not too far off. You got it, the source is ancient Eqyptian, then mauled into something that, to me at least, resembles Matari tribal language. Behudet as well as being the winged disk (Horus of the Behud), also means 'tooth' and 'walled (or fortified) city', though these are more commonly rendered into English as behdet (the root is BHDT). The common glyph is an elephant tusk. Incidently it's said that this is the root word for Baghdad. I chose it for its meaning tooth, though as you can see for a rp pvp corp all of the above works (Horus = Mars = God of War). Neh'bu Kau is a corruption of Nehebkau - the Serpent God, a double headed god if my memory serves me correct (think pincer movements, circling the enemy, striking unexpectedly), a guardian of the gates to the underworld. So adding all that together, allowing for my liberal corrupting of the root words and adding a healthy dose of imagination, you get: The Serpents Teeth, or perhaps more accurately, Teeth of the Serpent God. I was inspired by the Greek/Persian legend of Cadmus, famous for establishing a walled city (coincidently) after chopping off a serpents head, sowing its teeth in the ground, and having a mighty warrior spring up where each tooth fell. -----------------------------------------

I was inspired by the Greek/Persian legend of Cadmus, famous for establishing a walled city (coincidently) after chopping off a serpents head, sowing its teeth in the ground, and having a mighty warrior spring up where each tooth fell. That's a bit of a two-edged katana there. Thebes doesn't exactly have the most positive and inspiring history, unless you're Hades and in need of minions.

Faraelle Brightman Gallente Placid Reborn	Posted - 2008.10.11 20:18:00 - [344] I'd be curious to hear a serious translation attempt of this joke Latin I saw either in a sig or someone's bio and always liked. Veni, Vidi, Varpi - I came, I saw, I warped the hell out.
