Ancient Languages/Society slogan into latin
Expert: Maria - 1/13/2005
QuestionBit of an odd one this! Some friends and I are starting up an archery club at our university and would like you to translate our slogan "The Mutual Perforation Society" into latin.
Thanks in advance
AnswerHello,
First of all I must point out that this archery club slogan cannot be translated literally into Latin.
Anyway, here is the most appropriate Latin sentence that can match “The Mutual Perforation Society” :
“Sagittariorum Sodalicium ( or ‘collegium') ”
where SODALICIUM (or COLLEGIUM) is ‘The Society' and SAGITTARIORUM is ‘Mutual Perforation'.
Have a nice day.
Maria

Please note that SAGITTARIORUM is the genitive plural of SAGITTARIUS meaning “archer”.
Also, if we would like to translate 'mutual perforation', it would be "mutuorum foraminum", but this expression would sound absolutely stupid in Latin!
