peer agreement (net): +2| Mors ante infamiam Death before dishonor Explanation: Personally I prefer this rendering, because is more literal (it translates death, a noun, for another noun, mors, rather than for a verb, mori), while preserving the syntax. The question have been asked before. Follow these links: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/650697 http://www.proz.com/kudoz/980303 In the case of the longer translation, it would be foedari, because that means "be dishonored", whereas "foedare" means to dishonor someone or something, is the active form. |
