Spacefrisian Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I found a phrase somewhere wich i found nice to add to a SW banner thing (just a ccw for rule purpose), but as a text i wanted to use something Latin like. Just wanna know if its correct spelled. "Genibus nitere canis" (like in my sig) Translated it should say "On youre knees dog" Someone able to help out here.

kanaellars Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 To be honest, if you want text, Wolves would be better to use a Norwegian translation, as that is basically the modern ancestor of norse, the Viking language. The phrase you stated would be... "Opp på din kne hunden" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143277-spacewolf-latin-text/#findComment-1659238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Grimfang Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Or you can use any off-shoot of Germanic language which is basically what Kanaellars posted, but without so much of the iconic accents.

Coverfire Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I see Latin being used by the Inquisition on Holy Terra. As we are put through the teaching engines we too are taught the languages of Terra. so it might work... but as has already been mentioned Norse or Germanic would be much better. Latin suits more the Ultramarines, Imperial Fists, Inquistion.. etc Dog Latin or Pig Latin or whichever you perfer might suit the Chaos legions as a parody to the Loyalist chapters.

Spacefrisian Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 I choose latin and that phrase cause its somewhat related to HHH and due to this clip. (its at the start although not correct as i have heard.)

If i would take a germanic language i would most likely take Frisian (my own mother language). Than it would be..

Ragnar Lodbrok Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 To add to the commentary here Norwegian is the least like Old Norse that would be Icelandic that has managed to keep much of its Nordic Roots intact. Though you could even use Danish. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143277-spacewolf-latin-text/#findComment-1666852 Share on other sites More sharing options...
