Nephele Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 What's the longest word in Latin that you can get out of your name? And, does it describe you? Check out this anagram engine and find out! Step 1: Type either your screen name or your actual name in the box for "Input (word/phrase to be anagrammed)" Step 2: Select "Latin" from the drop-down menu for "Generate anagrams in this language" Step 3: Select "Yes" for "Show candidate word list only" Step 4: Click on "Find Anagrams" I discovered that the longest word in Latin that I can get out of "Nephele Carnalis" is pallescere, which I looked up in my Latin dictionary and found that it means "to grow pale; turn pale; lose color". That's so spooky, because it fits me! What's yours? -- Nephele the Pale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Augusta Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 LEGATIO for me, Nephele! I'm quite pleased with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephele Posted March 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) I got out my handy Cassell's, and here are the definitions for anyone who doesn't know Latin or who doesn't have a handy Cassell's or equivalent of their own: Gaius Octavius (actual name) LAMENTATIO: a lamenting, weeping, wailing. (screen name): VITIOSUS: faulty, defective, corrupt, bad. This doesn't suit you, G.O., but some Republicans may say it suits the Caesars. Kosmo (actual name) SANCTIMONIA: sanctity, sacredness. (screen name) MOS: the will, humour, inclination. The Augusta (actual name) LEGATIO: the post of deputy, delegated authority. (screen name) STATUA: a statue, image. Thanks for playing! Anyone else want to play? EDIT: Okay, couldn't resist. Here are a few screen names I looked up. M. Porcius Cato COMPATIOR: to suffer or undergo something with someone else. Pantagathus PAGANUS: belonging to a village, rural. Primus Pilus SUSPIRIUM: a deep breath, a sigh. -- Nephele the Pale Edited March 9, 2007 by Nephele Carnalis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursus Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 No anagrams found using my real name. Latin is not big on "j." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephele Posted March 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 No anagrams found using my real name. No actual anagrams, but there are certainly Latin words to be found in there. Did you remember to check "Yes" for the "Show candidate word list only" option? Your full name yields these three words of the longest length: MERERE: to deserve, earn, obtain. ARMARE: to provide with arms. SERERE: to join together, put in a row, connect. I choose merere for you. :wub: -- Nephele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
