Quote:M. Hoffman: Please read the latin translation as follows.... In summary the text is about: Some guys preparing fire and some kind of plates (areum). During the torture there is much burning (ur), a rat (muri) holding to the face (os) of the defendant (reus). They also use an ox (uros). It begins with "lauri" which is laurels, the torturer means he is doing very well. Some passages are for adults only, and because of that I will not provide any german or english translation. However, here some key passages:
Quote:Some guys preparing fire and some kind of plates (areum).
- In Latin, areum is a name, such as the old Greek hilltop judiciary in Athens (it wasn't really used for anything else); aureus and aurum refer to gold. arcum can refer to a trident or spear-like implement. The word areum (or words similar to it) have nothing to do with fire (flamma, ignis, incendium) or plates (lanx, patella).
Quote:During the torture there is much burning (ur), a rat (muri) holding to the face (os) of the defendant (reus).
- The word muri does not mean rat, it means walls (plural). Rat is mus or sorex in Latin.
- If "os" is interpreted as "face" then you have to explain why you translated "os" as "face" when it can also mean the front of a boat, or bone, or mouth.
2 re ea i ire a eum ea i os ire a que usa da quo ea iet ea in re ad ali ire ali in re ori ire
3 muri ire ad a reo ea in re ea es re ad a reus ea in re ori ire uni re ad a reus ea in re o eam re
.
As far as I can tell from the many examples posted, your "method" is to pick one or two words out of each phrase, like "os", "muri" and "reus", ones that look a bit like Latin, then "translating" them (mostly incorrectly), and then using that as the basis to make up the story in between.
