Hello
How would you say "wings on the north wind" in Latin?I found that ,Aquilo,is the North wind.And ,Aliger, is winged.
But how would you put it together? I know there are a troop of scholars here.Just... I dont happen to be one Happy

Thanks

I'll take a crack at it:

PENNAE IN AQUILONE

that's Penna (Pennae is plural, the subject)
in (when preceding an ablative noun means the preposition in, on)
and Aquilone (the ablative of the noun Aquilo, Aquilonis - i figure this is masculine and belongs to the third declension).

I would use ALAE. Penna's first meaning is feather, wing is second.

Italian uses ala, for ala , and penna for feather, meaning that ala was the first choice.

Perhaps ALAE AQVILONIS or even AQVILONIS ALAE is ore correct and the last more classical.

Karl,
when I read the first suggestion, I felt something was wrong but couldn't be precise about it, and my latin days are far gone.But the romance languages stem in great part from latin, and in french we say 'ailes' for wings, then I remebered that the italian pasta 'penne' are so named because they are hollow, like the stems of a feather.. so I would go more with Bruno's suggestion.

Bon coeur et bon bras

"wings ON the north wind" or "wings OF the north wind"?

anyway, we can see in tacuinum sanitatis that in medieval ages wind was "ventus" and they used to say "ventus septentrionalis" and "ventus meridionalis" for "north wind" and "south wind"

so, "wings of the north wind" could also be "alae venti septentrionalis"
or "wings ON the north wind" could be "alae supra ventum septentrionalem" or "alae super vento septentrionali".[/i]
