I hope I'm not wasting anyone's time by posting such an easy question, but I didn't think it would be very polite to hijack another thread.
Can anyone tell me what this all means? I'm guessing it is Latin, but having never studied it, I cannot be sure. Thanks in advance.  Edited by Fasulye on 06 January 2013 at 4:19pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
