About Ylauruam maybe someone knows a bit of arab to put some words on that coat too? :-) And what the heldann slogan means? :-) bye Francesco ___________________________________ Yahoo!

Actually, it's not Latin, it's Esperanto. I use it for Thyatian IMC because I can pretty much translate anything I need to quickly, effortlessly, and accurately. I haven't really studied Latin much, but from what I have, I find it very complicated - and that's coming from a native English (a ridiculously complex language) speaker! > About Ylauruam maybe someone > knows a bit of arab to > put some words on that coat too? :-) Yeah, on the MMB someone suggested "The Way of the Eternal Truth" and I like it. As you said, we need someone who speaks Arabic to translate. > And what the > heldann slogan means? :-) It's German and translates as "Victory is Truth." -Damon aka Brendan Corliss Corliss Enterprises, Ltd.

As I replied to Francesco, I'm using Esperanto not Latin, but I like your suggestion about the motto. How 'bout this: "Pro la Imperio kaj Civilizo"? BTW, I used "la" to emphasize "the" Empire not just "any" Empire (ie. Alphatia). But then articles (both definite and indefinite) are used somewhat differently in English than most other languages, so I my perception may be somewhat skewed on the importance of using the def. article there. But then again, there are no native Esperanto speakers, so I can who's to say, huh? > Let me know if you're interested and...good job! Thanks! -Damon aka Brendan Corliss Corliss Enterprises, Ltd.
