"A monumental dictionary of medieval British Latin has been completed after a century of research and drafting, in a project that spanned the careers of three editors and a small army of contributors.

The 17th, and final, part of The Dictionary of Medieval Latin from British Sources is published this week, drawing on more than 1,400 sources from the sixth to the 16th century, including the Domesday Book, the Magna Carta and the Bayeux tapestry."

Yep, especially the way WoZ mangles it with his two-dot scatterings.

And perhaps we may finally be able to properly translate Phil’s mysterious Non sum felix lepus, which couldn’t possibly mean, “I am having a bad hare day.” (<:)
