I translated the latin on the blast doors.....these are rough

Hic Sunt Dracones = Here is the Dragon
Credo Nos in Fluctum Eodem Esse = I believe the same flood will devour us
Sursum corda = from the sun-rise or heart of sunrise?something like that
Cogito Ergo Dolito=I think therefore I hurt/suffer??
Ut sit magna, tamen certe lenta ira deorum ist= How great we are, yet still clinging to an angry God
aegrescit medendo= cure my homesickness
Malum consilium quod mutari non potest=arguing/debating can not change evil (malum=evil, or apple).

So you didn't get lost, I take it.

Best episode of the season IMO.

I do 5 miles with him, after that he tires out

Nice! I'm going to show this to my daughter who is a big Lost fan. It hints at the expulsion from Paradise in Genesis 3.

malus=bad iirc...

it's Malum in the picture though, which is either a declension (sp) of Malus, or it is apple....I'm going with evil for this one...

Because Latin did not precede Judaism?

But then, when was genesis written? I don't know....

Maybe it's Malus=apple=fruit... like the evil being the fruit of previous acts, for example...

 

[notfred]

So... should I start watching this show? What's it comparable to that you could say "well, if you liked X, you'll probably like Lost"?

Says right on the linked image by the OP where to see the translations...

Blast Door Map and THE FLAME STATION

In 2x17, a map of stations is revealed on the blast door via an ultraviolet light when the timer counts down.

You can make out "I AM HERE" with an arrow pointing to the SWAN STATION. You can also see the medical station logo, and some new logos that are hard to decipher. One of the new stations is: THE FLAME, with a flame logo, and it appears there may be a station called THE PEARL. In addition, the medical station is refered to as THE STAFF. There are also several latin phrases on the map, which translate as follows:

Aegrescit medendo - The disease worsens with the treatment. The remedy is worse than the disease
Sursum corda - Lift up your hearts (to God)
Credo nos in fluctu eodem esse - I think we're on the same wavelength
Malum consilium quod mutari non potest - It's a bad plan that can't be changed.
Cogito ergo doleo - I think therefore I am depressed
Ut sit magna, tamen certe lenta ira deorum est - The wrath of the gods may be great, but it certainly is slow
Hic sunt dracones - Here be dragons
Nil actum credens dum quid superesset agendum - Don't consider that anything has been done if anything is left to be done
Liberate te ex inferis - Save yourself from hell
Mus uni non fidit antro - A mouse does not rely on just one hole

The two are not related at all, from a root standpoint. Actually, the pronounciation of "apple" has a long A (rhymes with Halo) instead of the short A sound of "bad" (rhymes with wallow).

It does however, make for interesting stuff like this poem:

Malo malo malo malo.

Translated: "I would rather be in an apple tree, than a naughty boy in adversity."

(Malo also means "I prefer" )

6 years of Latin FTW!

Ugh. Ecclesiastical pronunciation. You have got to be kidding me.

Short A is a short "ah", long A is a long "aaah", and it's as simple as that, so get it right next time.

ecclesiastical pronunciation sux
classical pronunication rox
and if you pronounce Latin ecclesiastically, you suck too





(I'm sorry, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try for the obscure flamewar. :evil: I even consulted a few vi-emacs threads for some tips. )

In all truth, I agree with you 100% on the pronounciation as I am a classical student. But ecclesiastic pronounciation seems all people can associate with these days due to the church, so I gave it as such. There should be no "V" sound in Latin, either

You get points for the vi/emacs reference too (I'm knee deep in Solaris/SPARC). If you had mentioned vim or--*gasp!*--Notepad, I would have tried to ping flood you off the 'net in a fit of 2400-baud anger

I'm actually giddy to be in a flame war that 99% of Atot won't get

we used to play Caeser Dicet in latin class (prounced Kaiser Dee-kit)....I think it was Dicet...it was so long ago.
