Dear Jean,
I think you'll find that "towards death" in Latin is "ad mortem"
What a difference once little letter can make :)
Can't recall what "morem" is though.
David in Ballarat
Seeing the attempts at translating old Italian from Le Pompe
reminded me of the motto for Poole (the town where I live):
"Ad morem villae de Poole"
Remembering what I could of Latin learn at school, my literal
translation was "To death villagers of Poole" rearranged to "Death
to the villagers of Poole", which, given what the local council is
doing to the town, I think is far more appropriate than the real
translation "According to the custom of the town of Poole".
