dies befalls nox noctis

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.

Matt says there is no word for befalls.
I was doing this for a friend.

Thanks though

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.

That sounds about right.

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.
