What do you want to do with them? There are several words for you words, so I´ve given you the general ones... KEY <i>Meaning </i> -> <i>nominative, genitive ending, gender </i> Thunder -> fulmen -inis n. Ice -> glacies -ei f. Hero -> heros -ois m. Scout -> explorator -oris m. Warlord -> imperator -oris m. * Pirate -> pirata -ae m. Sword -> (short sword) gladius -i m. / ensis -is m. ** Horse -> equus -i m. Mule -> (male) mulus -i m. / (female) mula -ae f. <b>Nota bene </b> * There is no word for warlord that I know, <i>imperator </i> means ´general´ ** Romans liked killing, so they had lots of words for different types of sword I assume you know how to properly form a Latin sentence so I won´t bore you, unless you want me to. I´m not evil, just morally challenged

Warlord = duck´s belly. I mean, <i>dux belli </i>. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

dunno about that Ed. Dux means duke or military commander and was an actual Roman title, often used for emergencies or temporary expediencies, while Imperator although equated with Emperor and used for that purpose, really means to be invested with the imperatorial power and was only used technically when a definite tract of territory was permanently added to the Republic/Empire, although it became an automatic attribute for the Emperor regardless of whether he actually took part in a campaign or not. hence the Dux Britannarium, Duke of the Britons, was military commander of inland and northern Britannia, while Marcus Licinius Crassus gained his title of Imperator for conquering a stream and a handful of villages. but.. as I remember, foederates and socii kings, princes, etc. could also be granted the title of Dux, so yeh I think you´re right, dux <i>is </i> a better translation of warlord. You clever guy! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <note to self: keep an eye on this Indy fellow>

Well, I really didn´t go through all that thinking. And at this point it is against interest for me to explain my thinking on it anyway. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_clown.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Didn´t ff or somebody do a Latin topic a while ago? Look, I still have my latin name: <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=´http://www.planetgromit.co.uk/tlr/blaze.gif ´> BlazeME: <i>Flameus Muchus n00bus </i> <A href=´http://www.outwar.com/page.php?x=1967123´ Target=_Blank>Help me on Outwar.com</a>

Perhaps I shall change my name to "Imperator Bob" <img src=smilies/icon_smile_clown.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Latin´s a cool language. I would´ve wanted to learn it, but it´s dead.

I wish that they had offered it at my place of primary/secondary education. Still, what can you do? You know what they say; <i>Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur </i> (Trans: "Whatever is said in Latin sounds profound" ) <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. Edit: Apparently, "Mannus" is Latin for Mustang. Interesting... Edited by - esquilax on 2/18/2004 2:07:01 PM

*Doffs hat* Much obliged, old son <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. I imagine that it will come in handy, because some people around here are incapable of using search engines.

Damn! ff saw through my cunning insult! No, he´s getting paranoid. Check that, getting <i>more </i> paranoid <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. And to remain on topic a Latin message to all of the virus and trojan writers out there; <i>Ne auderis delere orbem rigidum meum! </i> (Trans: Don´t you dare erase my hard disk!) <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. Edit; Taw, here´s one for you <i>Prehende uxorem meam, sis! </i> (Trans: Take my wife, please!) <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>.

@WLB Imperator Bob is classy. Although I kind of like Dux Belli Bob. It has a nice rhythm to it and reduces to a neater acronym.... DBB as opposed to IB. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> And, officia
