Indivisible spined hybrids

[Pseudantechnicus]

Good day to you all,

I want to create a Latin name or motto for an artistic literary club with work studio and lodging in the Dordogne countryside, operating in 3 languages: French, English and Spanish, with a Latin slant.

The name or motto of the club will have 3 words, including the concept of indivisibility (prime number theory 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41....), which can be shortened to a 3 letter with recognizance such as IBM.

Ideally combined with one or various clever or even outrageous puns.


"Indivisible" or some version thereof needs to be incorporated.

Examples I thought of with my limited and most likely incorrect Latin (followed by translation of concept in English):

Hibridus Indivisibulus Chordatus H.I.C. (Indivisible spined hybrids)

Hibridus Indivisibulos Tomentosus H.I.T. (Indivisible hairy hybrids)

Hybridus Indivisibles Troglodytus H.I.T. (Cave dwelling indivisible hybrids)

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

Yours truly,

Ningbing Pseudantechnicus

Hello, unfortunately the translations aren't correct (mostly because the endings are incorrect: endings change in Latin due to word position in the sentence and its grammatical functions, so they must be gotten right).

You could go with (for example):

Hybrida Indīvidua Spīnālis​

​

(=Indivisible spined hybrid*)​

​

​

Plural: Hybridae Indīviduae Spīnālēs​

​

(=Indivisible spined hybrids)​

​

Good luck with the club!

Wouldn't it be spinata?

I suppose both would be correct, the medical Latin allows for a "Spinalis Dorsi" for a spine too (apart from Columna Vertebralis), so, even though it's a noun there, I took it as an evidence of existence of the form generally in this particular area...

Yes but apart from the fact that usually the ending -alis usually indicates a relation more than the object in question having a determined something, spinalis doesn't agree with hybrida. No?

Sorry? I don't understand either objection. (it agrees, of course, nom.sg.fem.)

 

[Godmy]

I see what you meant. Hibrida is fem. sg. (not neuter plural) http://athirdway.com/glossa/?s=hibrida - I used singular. But my mistake, I'll edit the plural in the English translation I provided (I merely copy pasted it).

I'll add the plural version as well then!

Oh, is hybrida feminine? I assumed it was neuter plural since OP asked for a plural.

Hi everyone, thank you for your input.

Yes, the motto would denote to plural, not singular.

As I said, I am neither stuck on the Hybrids nor the Spined, just the Indivisibility.

Hybrida Indīvidua Spīnālis would make the short version HIS which doesn't have the pun I am going after... so more suggestions welcome!
