Re: Another Possible Correction

Annnd one more correction. I was sleep deprived, apparently -- I'm a bit put out by the mix-ups I made on the Drones (noted above) and, now I see, the Prophets. Pretty basic stuff. I almost hesitate to correct my error on the Prophets, though, as it opens another can of worms (ha). 'Vermis' in the genitive case would result in a probable reading of 'Worm's treachery', or 'Treachery of the worm'; not 'Worm of Treachery'(which would require the Latin to read 'Perfidiae Vermis').

Not as natural, IMO, though not bad... There are a couple other possible readings that make a bit of sense -- namely 'O treachery of the worm!', if 'Perfidia' is vocative. Hmm.
