Winter Seed Catalog Moon
Wow. 19. Hard to imagine Monday’s high will be 33 degrees lower.
Today’s focus was Latin. The sight reading has gotten easier though there are still instances like verse 215. After struggling with it, I looked over to see what I’d gotten in the slower pace of translating with helps. Brackets. 215 looked like this { }.
As the Latin begins to loosen its occult barriers, the little things, as I said a couple of weeks ago, loom larger. Is that a neuter plural? Yes. Well, it can’t modify that masculine singular. Oh. Yeah. Sounds obvious and it is, unless it isn’t. Choosing the right English word to translate a particular Latin word is harder for me. I still haven’t read enough Latin to know what Latin authors usually mean by a particular word. All the meanings seem possible.
But these are advanced problems and I’m happy to have them.
