Need some help with Latin

[MacWage]

"Solace from the soil"-> "Levatios Ex Terra"

That is close, but the first part is definately wrong
root-> leviatas, levatis, feminine (3rd declinsion)-> yet it is NOT a 3 Dec ending
It means: "lightness, restlessness, mildness, fickleness, shallowness"
NOT the connotation I would want for my farm.

Solace:
Noun- solacium, lenimen, levamen, levamentum, neuter.
"solace"/"comfort"/"consolation"->solacium, solacii, neuter
"Alleviation"/"solace"-> lenimen, leniminis, neuter
"elevation"/"mitigation"/"consolation"-> levamentum, levamenti, neuter

I'd probably use the first possible definition listed-> it is the direct root of the English. Either way, use the first listed (nomnative, singular)
"Lenimen"-" sounds to much like "lemon"

From: preposition:
Out from-> Ex-> takes ablative

Soil:
"base"/"foundation"/"earth"/"ground"/"soil"->solum, soli, neuter
"land"/"soil"/"country"/"earth"/"ground"-> terra, terrae, feminine

either works-> hust a bit different conotation. The best is probably the second, for it is the most easily understood by most people. "Solum" may be taken (erroniously) as "out from one."

So, possibilities:

Solacium Ex Solum -> solace out of the foundations

Solacium Ex Terra -> solace out of the land

I'd use the latter.

[Caradoc]

Solacium Ex Solum -> solace out of the foundations

Solacium Ex Terra -> solace out of the land

I'd use the latter.

I'll second that.

[Rex_Tremende]

So, possibilities:
Solacium Ex Solum -> solace out of the foundations
Solacium Ex Terra -> solace out of the land
I'd use the latter.

While the second option is closer to the intended translation, I do like the alliteration of the first.

I had a hunch this crowd would deliver. Thank you, MacWage! I'll post the patch after I've changed the wording.

Great!!!

I think the correct phrase might be " Solacium ex (or "e") solo". Solum is not ablative, so it can't follows ex.
"Ex solo solacium" sounds good too. If you're not sure about terra or solo, why don't you use " Ex terrae solo solacium" ( solacium ex solo terrae, solacium ex terrae solo, terrae ex solo solacium (<- fine one!) )

[Valencian Kilted]

hummm.... I like that last one, but I think that calling a place "Solace from the foundations of land" sounds a bit.... excessive, don't u think? :rolleyes:

I'd vote for "Solacium ex terra" (terra is the ablative case from terra-ae), keeping the nominative in first position to make it more understandable, if you mean "Joy by the land" (coming from it, joy achieved by enjoying the land)

¡Maxima Salus!
