In Response To: Bestiarum Latin names translated (Fëanor) : Drone - Turpis Rex (Ugly king) : The least interesting one. Pretty straightforward, though seemingly a bit off : grammatically -- had it been up to me, a more pleasing rendering would : have been 'Regis Turpis' (King of ugly). That's got a vervacious ring to : it, no? Somehow I managed to get my genitives flip-flopped on this one. 'Turpis Rex' actually can translate as 'King of ugly'. Kudos to Bungie on that one, I like it. : Engineer - Facticius Indoles (Artificial nature) : I think there was a mix up on this one, because it doesn't really make sense. : The instantly obvious blunder is that the gender of the noun and adjective : disagree ('Indoles' is feminine). But even looking past that, it doesn't : come together for me. Were the grammatical i's and t's dotted and crossed, : the Latin would still read 'Artificial Nature' (as in 'Man-made Innate : Disposition'). I'd guess that they wanted to say something more like : 'Dextra ad Indoles', or 'Dexter Naturaliter' (Dexterous by nature). I just found out that the Engineers are actually a fabricated race. I had no idea -- the original reading makes perfect sense now.
