LATIN Language Help

[Lenora]

Hi. I take Latin classes and I might be able to help a little. I only started a in 2004 so I might not be of much help. I know a lot of grammer as well as vocabulary. In September I'll be able to help you more with stuff I don't know because classes have ended for the summer. In September we start again and I'll be able to ask my teacher if I don't know anything. I can call him on Saturdays also. Sorry, evanescence17 I don't know anything.

Me again.

Is there a Latin word for 'backfire'? The Lexicon lists a Backfiring Jinx, but no incantation. If there isn't a word for backfire, how about 'reverse' or something like that? I need a Backfiring Jinx.

Edit: I love the fast replies in here! Thanks, Sarah!

odium ~ hatred; an object of hatred

adduco ~ to bring to a certain state of mind, to influence, induce

For Leanne:

retexo ~ to unravel , undo, reverse; to cancel, annul; to retract; to revise

Until we meet again, rita_skeeter.

I'm writting my first ever fanfic and i'm trying to think of a spell that teleports inanimate objects. The only latin, or other language, words i can think of sound like, or are portus(to carry), which obviously i cant use on account of the portkey connection. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking words like transport, teleport. Send?

[rita_skeeter]

Hi murgatroid!

migro ~ to move, transport; to transgress

OR

transmoveo ~ to remove , to transfer

Until we meet again, rita_skeeter.

[murgatroid]

thanks rita_skeeter!!
i have decided to use migromoveo. Thanks again for your help!

EDIT: Actually, is there a word in latin for elsewhere? Coz now the spell says basically move move and its kinda weird.

[rita_skeeter]

Hi again!

alibi ~ elsewhere , at another place

OR

aliorsum and aliorsus ~ in another direction , elsewhere

I'm happy to help - it's no problem!

Until we meet again, rita_skeeter.

For a later chapter in my fanfic, Hermione uses a barrier/shield spell that sends the Trio's attackers hurtling backward so that they can Disapparate. I had the spell as Obex Obduco, which, if I can remember, were two words for barrier and protect. It's been a few months since I looked them up, I just quickly wrote them down because I thought they sounded good together for a spell. Does anyone know if this is correct? Or, are there other words that would describe this spell better? Thanks

[rita_skeeter]

Hello!

I think these are the definitions of the words you have:

obex ~ bar, barrier, barricade

obduco ~ to draw over , draw in front

So yes, they seem just fine! I have a few more words that are fairly similar, if you'd like to use them:

obmolior ~ to build against (as barrier or defence)

intego ~ to cover , protect

munimen ~ a protection , defence
