One of my students wanted to put into Latin the lovely phrase, "Sunlight becomes broom" (the common name of a golden-tawney wild grass found on our mountainside)
Sol (or Lux solis) ____________ commutatur . Sol (or Lux solis) _____________ fit. looks okay to me also. "Genista" of course is botanically completely wrong for a grass of whatever common name, but I have never seen a source for authentic Latin botanical nomenclature).
But what case should "broom" be in? Accusative does not seem right because to become something is not quite like being the object of an operation.
THANKS!
