We need a "Carthago delenda est" for the fossil industry to insert into everything.

There are a number of reasons why I regret not paying more attention in #Latin classes back in school, and this book with its awesome illustrations of fantastic Swiss #dragon - snakes is near the top.

Apart from #Polish, in the top 4 we see 3 neo- #Latin languages. This isn't so surprising imho. Latin is highly logical after all.
"The top 10 most effective languages for conversational AI were as follows:
- Polish 88%
- French 87%
- Italian 86%
- Spanish 85%
- Russian 84%
- English 83.9%
- Ukrainian 83.5%
- Portuguese 82%
- German 81%
- Dutch 80%

"delight"<-- de- + light <--This particular "light" comes from
"delite" (ME) <-- delit & delitier ( #OldFrench) <-- dēlectāre ( #Latin) <-- de- + laciō (Lat), in which "lacio" <-- *lakjō ( #ProtoItalic), meaning "to allure."
At some point, the spelling of "light" ("light") influenced the spelling of "delite," making the #English word seem to share the same origins.
But where the root of "light" means "to shine," the root of "lite" in "delight" means "to entice."

OK Roman military historians, can you help me with "tutela III Asclepio" from that looted funerary inscription for a sailor in the Misenum fleet that turned up recently in New Orleans (EDCS-21100456 = CIL 11.7584)?
I assume that "tutela" is an office, role, or rank and our man Verus was assigned it for the trireme "Asclepius". But do we know what "tutela" means in any more detail?
Parallel: "armicustos III Marte" (EDCS-19800619 = CIL 11.67)
On the recovered inscription: https://scholar.social/@serviliusahala/115333301710261135
Boosts appreciated.

Question for #digitalhumanities , #earlymodern , #bookhistory , #latin and especially #neolatin people here: Do you know of #linkedopendata resources that are potentially relevant for Neolatinists? I'm preparing a talk on the topic and would like to provide an overview of interesting datasets beyond wikidata, factgrid, prism, lila and the linked data services of some libraries.

#TIL “Sem compromisso” ( #portuguese / “Sin compromiso” (#Spanish) mean more like “no obligation” unlike their #Latin, German, English, Polish equivalents of “no compromise”. Very telling…
"An artificial intelligence (AI) model can predict where ancient Latin texts come from, estimate how old they are and restore missing parts. The model, called Aeneas and described in Nature today, was developed by some of the members of the team who created a previous AI tool that could decipher ancient Greek inscriptions."

Hoy, mientras pensaba en desayunar un bol con melocotón y cereales he pensado...
¿Por qué en castellano se dice "melocotón" y en otros idiomas cercanos la raíz no concuerda?
En portugués se dice "pêssego", pêche en francés, peach en inglés, pesca en italiano... ¿Veis el patrón común?
Procedo con la breve explicación (1/3) ⬇️
