Re: Somewhat O.T. Need help with latin translation...

Oh, well... Latin! I've had it for six years in school, but that's been ten
years ago, so I'm definitely not an expert. I'm surprised how much I
remember, though. But the major drawback is that I don't have a dictionary here. I've
got one at home but that's definitely out of reach until the weekend. I
could go to the libary tomorrow, however, if that'll
help.

Here are my suggestions:

> "Ampleuxus Willow," she whispered. (Love Willow)

If this is supposed to be the imperative singular ("Love Willow!"), "Willow
ama!" should be the almost correct translation. Almost, since 'Willow' is the
object here, so the name should be in accusative singular, but I'd recommend
to skip this because the name is not a Latin one.

"Willow ama," she whispered.

> "Faveo haud timeo," Willow's body whispered. (Don't
> be afraid)<p>

"Ne timueris," Willow's body whispered.

> "Faveo haud adversor..." (Don't fight it)

"Ne id pugnaveris..."

> "Tu tuam mihi... tu usquequaque animus," she said,
> kissing Buffy gently before stepping back. (You are
> mine... you always will *be*)<p>

"Mihi es... Mihi semper eris," she said, kissing Buffy gently before
stepping back.

> "Etiam, redono," Buffy heard in her fevered mind.
> (Yes... give up)<p>

Have to look 'to give up' in the dictionary to help you here.

> "Sedo pessum. Tu securus cum mihi. Tu animus recordor
> solum quemadmodum stare tu ad," Willow's body said.
> (Calm down. You are safe with me. You will remember
> only what I wish you to)<p>

Same. Have to look some words up.

> "Somnus Giles," she whispered. (Sleep Giles)<p>

'Somnus' is the noun 'sleep', but 'to sleep' is 'dormire', so assuming you
meant the imperative ("Sleep, Giles!"), this must be:

"Giles dormi," she whispered.

> You don't remember this morning, commoneo. (Remember)

You don't remember this morning, commone!

> "Redeo." (Come back)

Again, imparative assumed, this should be:

"Reveni!"


Hope this helps.

Bye,
