I’ve also been working on the native script version of this. Thalassarctian has a featural alphabet which I have taken to calling the bubble script as it reminds me of nothing so much as a game of Puzzle Bobble.

But for now it’s quite late, and I think this is quite enough to post today.

“Milli passum” dixit pro “mille passibus” et “uno milli nummum” pro “unis mille nummis” aperteque ostendit “mille” et vocabulum esse et singulari numero dici eiusque plurativum esse “milia” et casum etiam capere ablativum.

He said milli passum instead of mille passibus and uno milli nummum instead of unis mille nummis and clearly demonstrated mille to be a noun, that it is used in the singular, that its plural is milia, and also that it has an ablative case.

He calls attention to the fact that Latin mille doesn’t quite act like Greek χίλιοι chilioe, which is usually an adjective, but more like the noun χιλιάς chilias, which is less common. In English, too, “thousand” acts noun-like, unlike most of the smaller numbers which are more adjectival.

Ne diutius pendeas, palmam tulit.

I won’t leave you hanging — he did carry the palm.

Of course, the palma was a sign of victory; palmam ferre would be like winning a medal, perhaps. I think ‘carry the palm’ can stand as an idiom on its own in English, though.

Minorem autem Septentrionem Cepheus passis palmis [post] terga subsequitur.

Now Cepheus, palms outstretched, follows behind the lesser Septentrio.

Cepheus is still reckoned a constellation; minor Septentrio appears to be an unusual name corresponding to what we would now call Ursa Minor, or the Little Dipper.

korf|os, -iris. neut.  The body.  [PIE *kʷrp-es-.]

I think šonos was inspired by Sanskrit jana, but I’m not sure.  It is used in the singular, in general or indefinite statements along the lines of ‘people say….’  I suppose it would be slightly more specific than an impersonal passive like ‘it is said…’ though there might not be much difference in meaning in practice.

Korfos is pretty straightforwardly built on the same pattern as Latin corpus.

Cetera videntur esse tranquilla; tranquillissimus autem animus meus qui totum istuc æqui boni facit.

Everything else seems to be going peaceably; and my mind is quite peaceable itself, taking the whole thing with contentment.

I don’t think I have the second half of this second sentence right at all. Tranquillissimus autem should mean his mind is even more peaceful, this mind of his which is taking it so contentedly.

“Ō cī|vēs, cī|vēs, quǣ|rēndă pĕ|cūnĭă | prīmum ēst;
vīrtūs | pōst nūm|mōs!” Hǣc | Jānūs | sūmmŭs ăb | īmō
prōdŏcĕt, | hǣc rĕcĭ|nūnt jŭvĕ|nēs dīc|tātă sĕ|nēsquĕ.

“Hey, citizens! Citizens! Seeking money should come first – virtue after dollars!” This is what the Janus teaches from end to end; the young and the old repeat this lesson.

The Janus Medius was “the place in the forum where bankers and speculators gathered for business.”

Miserrimus omnis sæculi maritus: sic contempta absentia mea etiamnunc iniuriam meam nescirem, si qui fecerat tacere voluisset.

I’m the most miserable husband of all time – even now I wouldn’t have known that I’d been wronged in my wretched absence if the man who had done it had wanted to keep quiet.

I am least sure of ‘contempta’ here.

Gĕmĭnōs | īn vēn|tre hăbē|rĕ vĭdĕ|ōr fī|lĭōs.

I look like I’m pregnant with twins.

No comment.

“Di in prœlio sunt,” inquit; “habet pœnam noxium caput.“

“The gods are in this battle,” he said. “The guilty head has received its punishment.”

It feels righter here to put habet as “has received” here rather than “has”. I have a vague idea that this isn’t the first time I’ve found that to be the case.
