Well here goes what I can find.. generi is an abstraction of genero meaning beget,produce, create so I assume this meant was born of... praedictae looks like an abstraction of either praedicare meaning preach or praedico meaning warn, admonish, instruct. predicti may have been another version of above. peregrina is an abstraction of peregrinus meaning wanderer, foreigner, pilgrim. Quidam pauper Hibernus Nomine has the following segment meanings Quidam - a kind of Pauper - beggar hibernus - ? nomine - by name Possibly 'A kind of beggar with no name' inconjugatae - seems to be an abstraction of the english word conjungate which I think means something along the lines of breaking down. As in we conjugate nouns by reading through the various parts of them. cujusdam - No word relating to this or any part of it exists in the dictionary I have. ----Original Message Follows---- From: Tut <tut@tutton.org> To: WESSEX-PLUS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [WSX] A bit of Latin? Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 23:29:35 -0500 Hello. Thanks to everyone who offered to help translate the lease agreement. If I haven't thanked you personally, yet, it's because I'm waiting to hear how the two people, currently working on the text, get on with it. Thanks, though. We have started to transcribe the Wedmore parish records for burials (1561 to 1860) to put on line at www.tutton.org We have a couple of issues with language, that I am hoping some people might be able to give us a hand with. Below is the list that I am seeking help with. I'm sure there will be a few more during the next month or so...I'll put up a posting with the final list when we are done, as others may desire a list such as this. Thanks in advance. -Michael- inconjugatae generi praedictae predicti peregrina cujusdam Quidam pauper Hibernus Nomine ==== WESSEX-PLUS Mailing List ==== Useful Somerset Sites: http://www.genuki.org.uk/indexes/SOMcontents.html _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
