[Sca-cooks] OT: Latin question

[Stefan li Rous]

Brekke asked:

<<< My cousin is asking for help in translating "Quality, Speed,  
Teamwork" into Latin.  My latin is stale, rusty, and sparse; can  
anyone more knowledgeable help me? >>>

I'm sure someone else has probably answered this by now, but for the  
future, there are these two files in the HERALDRY section of the  
Florilegium:
mottoes1-msg     (113K) 10/25/00    Latin mottoes for SCA use.
mottoes2-msg      (80K) 10/25/00    More Latin mottoes and phrases.

Most of the translations in these files were done by Mistress  
Gunnora, also known as the Viking Answer Lady. One of the things she  
does that I like, is that she doesn't just give you a word by word  
translation, but explains why some words are better than others and  
why some phrases do not translate word for word into Latin. She is  
also willing to help others with such translations, but asks that you  
look at these two files first, so that she doesn't have to translate  
the same mottoes multiple times.

For those interested in brushing up on, or learning Latin, there are  
some online resources detailed in these files in the EDUCATION section:
languages-msg     (80K)  7/21/07    Sources for learning Anglo-Saxon,  
Latin.
Latin-msg         (36K)  2/ 4/08    Learning Latin. Some basics. WWW  
course.
Latin-online-art  (15K)  6/10/99    "Learning Latin On-Line" by Gunnora
                                        Hallakarva.
