I'm not 100% sure, but my guess is Mort / Morte or along those lines.

Online translator says it's . . . nex, mortalitas, mors mortis, letum, plecto aliquem capite, excessum, decessus

I'd go with mortalitas. Mort is French for death.


yay for the Frenchies!!

Muerte is Spanish for death. Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese all come from Latin. Mortis is Latin for death. Google is awesome.

I believe it is mortalitas. That sounds more Latin-ish than mort or morte.
If only I'd payed attention a wee bit more. :]

It's hard to make a translation because it depends on the context.


mortuus = means deceased and is used for death.

per example

de mortius nil nisi bonum

Morituri te salutumus

Dulce et Decorum est pro patria mori

Causa mortis

*whips out Latin dictionary*

mors
obitus (natural death)
nex, interitus (violent death)

Mortuus means dead.

Mors, mortis are the nominative and genitive cases. The exact Latin form depends on context, so if you want it to fit into a particular sentence (English or Latin) the context is necessary.

I've had five years of Latin so there was a point at which I was quite good at it, so I'm actually trustworthy.

(edit)Evidently my English spelling, however, leaves something to be desired.
