      @Samy Nia Thank you so much! :D So firstly, don't trust Google Translate when it comes to Latin. It's very far from perfect, or even good lol. As for subflāvus, the prefix sub- when applied to adjectives means "a little bit" or "less than entirely," so our word here means "not quite blond" or "less than blond" or "kind of blond."

      I got a stark reminder of the fact that Latin is a dead language the other day when I asked my Latin teacher how I would say “He liked books very much” instead of the “He liked books” we had just covered. The teacher told me that that’s not how you translated it, to which I replied that I was well aware, but just wanted to know how you WOULD say that when forming your own sentence. This went on for a while, with him plain failing to understand why someone would want to form their own sentences in Latin…

      Not sure, but think it would be hard to 100% know for sure how it was actually spoken since audio recording didn't exist back then. One has to look at rhyming poems, the descendants, and other methodologies. Some believe the r was pronounced as a tap or flap (similar to t in better as pronounced by americans).

      I think the Classical Latin accent combines aspects that are found in Castillian Spanish, Italian and Finnish accents. The vowel qualities must have sounded thicker than those of the Romance languages because of the retracted s and phonemic vowel length. Raphael Turrigiano made a recording of himself reciting a poem in Classical Latin with this accent and it sounds beautiful.

    So, as the play goes: _Rapinastes coelhorum et pernis perdigotorum!_ 😆
