The threshold
What this language does
Latin declines, and so it frees word order: a poet can nest one sentence inside another, hold back the verb for six lines, interlace two clauses like two threads. It has no articles either — a Latin noun is neither definite nor indefinite, it simply is.
The untranslatable
What you owe your gods, your country and your parents — all three in one word, and one virtue.
Hello
Salve
“be well” — an imperative about health, not a polite formula
Work in progress
The dead language still speaking inside our own. And a reading experience unlike any other: deciphering a language nobody has as a mother tongue, which means nobody owns it better than you do.
