I admire your energy - just working over a few lines of latin after midnite gets me ready for dreamland.

Tricky Latin has those huge verb conjugations and the oblique cases replacing prepositions and adverbs.

Here's a cute construction from Tacitus: "plerique sua haurentium" I get "the majority of those losing their things-goods-assets." It is that implied subject of haurientium that took me a while to figure out. The expression is from Tacitus' famous obituary of Mr. P. I don't think any writer got a better one and Tacitus does not even mention the writing or works, a problem for academics trying to verify the authorship of the Satyrica.
