: Anyone speak Latin? : Sharon March 28, 2005, 01:13:57 AM I have just got a Marauders Map card as an Easter present and I am just so happy ;D
It has the following words on it (as near as I can make out) 'societ et probus' Being totally stupid about such things the nearest I can come is something to do with a society for elephants :D. Not very likely you would agree. Appologies if this has already been a topic. I did do a search on latin and couldn't find anything ( but that search is dead clever, it even pulled words like congratulating) :) : Re:Anyone speak Latin? : Tower March 28, 2005, 01:36:13 AM It means:
conjointly/together and brave/stalwart : Re:Anyone speak Latin? : Sharon March 28, 2005, 01:42:18 AM Thank you
That is very cool. Can't actually think why it would be on the Marauders Map but still very cool. By the way, really impressed with your language skills :) : Re:Anyone speak Latin? : Tower March 28, 2005, 01:44:47 AM Well, i know some good sites in the web. ;D
: Re:Anyone speak Latin? : Anna March 28, 2005, 01:46:06 AM By the way, really impressed with your language skills :) Me too! :o : Re:Anyone speak Latin? : Tower March 28, 2005, 01:49:26 AM I had latin at school, but i only remembered "et". ;D
But there are really useful sites in the web. No problem. ;D : Re:Anyone speak Latin? : Sharon March 28, 2005, 01:52:07 AM Don't be modest. I didn't get futher than the elephants ha ha
I might pick your brains even further if I can borrow a scanner. I also got a Zonko's Bag and it is a bit of the writing. Can't quite make out what letter it is though. I think they have done what KBmum said and put it in skew wiffy. Tell what, if you can tell me what letter it is from this description I will be REALLY impressed (not to mention a little frightened ;D ;D ;D) : Re:Anyone speak Latin? : Morningangel-Iola March 28, 2005, 02:44:00 AM I always cheat and find a translator on the web. I tried it as I wanted to know what the writting on my duvet cover said ::)
