Quote:M. Hoffman:
ad ala
- come closer with the dyer stick (ala=paddle=dyer stick in this context)
You keep saying this is Latin, but "ala" does not mean "paddle" (or anything close to it) in Latin. Ad ala could maybe be interpreted as toward the wing, or toward the shoulder (or approaching the shoulder), but "with the paddle/dyer stick"? No way. The "with" is certainly not appropriate and "paddle"? No.
Once again, you subjectively assumed the context and then translated based on your opinion of what the word "should" mean and added in words that are not even suggested by the transliteration.
This is not science.
