Anyone else? I'd like two people saying the same thing before I go with it.

And I know you cant just stick the individual words in a translator and use it like that because they have a funny sentence structure...

Beggar and a chooser, eh?

If you have the time, just stop by and talk to an old priest or write a letter to some latin contingent.

well Labbats is prolly more spot on than I am. My memoryfails after the first dacade and a half. I know Dies and nox i could not come up with a word for befalls.

Labbats?

Dies cogniti nox noctis?

I used a latin generator online. Sentence structure is probably lacking.

I checked two different latin generators. Befall is cognito.

Often times there is not a 'direct' translation word from word, but in other languages the key is not for exact copying but literal meaning.

She says she doesnt need it anymore. She was using it for a poem or something. She thought the whole thing was crap so she threw it out.
