In article <16B5E12A48.JAREA@UKCC.UKY.EDU> JAREA@UKCC.UKY.EDU writes: >Solely in the interest of "le sport", let's consider first the Latin sentence >"Loquitur latine." [...] >(By the by, I used >"latine" in the above example as my Latin reference works do not indicate >to which declension "Esperanto" belongs in Latin.) I wonder if the Catholic Church has come up with an official New Latin translation for "Esperanto." Failing that, one could perhaps loan-translate-- Sperans, nonne? Or perhaps lingua Doctoris Sperantis? My Latin primer, _Latina pro populo_, claims that the word for 'clown' is _bozo_, borrowed from the Greek; it even supplies a useful illustrative sentence: "Bozo in insula tres imperatores in Romae sunt pares." Or were Humez and Humez just pulling my leg?
