Quid sum? (What am I?) Latin writing game

[Pacifica]

can aedis mean a house-part?

Seems so, though it isn't common. The OLD mentions two examples of it meaning "room/apartment".

 

[Bitmap]

I thought that was what you had in mind. Do aedes, in the sense of "house", actually contain several aedes, in the sense of... can aedis mean a house-part?

I thought aedis was originally some kind of room.

That's likely the case.

Well, yes, I don't know how many citations you will find for the meaning "room" or "apartment", but the meaning of "house" for the plural comes from the idea that it is something that consists of many rooms.

if it is my turn

It isn't really. The turn is taken by the person who answered the previous riddle, who in this case is Dantius. Since it's been some time, though, and it doesn't seem like he's inspired to post, it's OK if you step in.

partem floris velique sum.

Pars floris velique es. Hum. Nescio quid sis.

Pars in place of partem, (I forgot predicate nominative), but I think sum is right? I meant, “I am a part of a flower and (of) a sail.”

Yes, of course. I was saying "you are..." addressing you.

Nomen floris partis est Anglicum. Nomen veli partis est Latinum, sed idem in lingua altra sunt

That sounds like the mast of a sail.

I thought a mast was a malus in Latin ... which I don't think is part of a flower

Yes, it is not malus

I am sorry bitmap. I just realized I was confusing sine and intra. I meant cogita intra pannum.
