Title: Latin skill names for Priests?
Post by: xTodesengelx on May 20, 2010, 05:53:43 am

Does anyone know the translations of the priest's skill names into English?
I notice a lot of them are in Latin.

Aqua Benedicta - Blessed Water, holy water
Signum Crucis - Sign of the cross, Cross Sign
Angelus - Angel

Imposito Manus - laying on hands, imagine a priest who lays his hands on top of a person's head
Suffragium - Voice
Aspersio - Sprinkling, like, holy water
Benedictio Sanctissimi Sacramenti - "Blessing of the holiest sacrament"
Magnificat - from magnificare, means to praise, to glorify
Gloria - well, obviously glory
Lex Divina - Divine Law
Lex Aeterna - Eternal Law
Magnus Exorcismus - "Big exorcism" or w/e
Redemptio - Well... redemption, or salvation.

Kyrie Eleyson - is actually Greek, and means "Oh Lord, have mercy!", it's a prayer in Christian liturgy, something like intercessions, only for yourself, and not for others.
Pneuma - is also Greek, and means air, or "ghost" or rather "spirit" or "animus" etc.

Assumptio - obviously comes from lat. assumere (to assume), thus assumption, although that doesn't make any sense, considering the effect of the skill. @_@
Basicila - a basicila was a big market hall in Roman towns
Meditatio - self explaining. Meditation, prayer.

assumption in dictionary site:

the act of taking to or upon oneself. Assumptio skill lets one absorb damage w/ half damage.

word origin & history: c.1300, "the reception, uncorrupted, of the Virgin Mary into Heaven," from L. assumptionem (nom. assumptio) "a taking, receiving," noun of action from assumptus, pp. of assumere (see assume). Meaning "action of taking for oneself" is recorded from 1580s; that of "something taken for granted" is from 1620s.

The animation of Assumptio is a female angel in prayer ascending. I guess if GravityCorp made an animation of a normal looking woman (Mary)  instead, nobody would recognize her.

EDIT: GM haine's thinking ecchi. /heh

Yeah, I just watched Elfen Leid for the first time and there was a ton of Latin in it. Then I saw the words Kyrie Eleison and was like...Heeeyyyy what's a minute..

XD that's so cool though, how did you know all those?

Back in school, I learned Latin, and got the "Großes Latinum", there is no real translation for it, it's just some sort of qualification in Latin, the highest you can get here. Although, it's already like 6 years ago, since I last had a Latin lesson. That, and dictionaries, of course. :P Besides, as you can see, since English is a Roman language, A LOT of words come from the Latin language, and so they're written pretty much the same way.

Also, lat. "fidelis" - loyal, reliable. ;)
