Does anyone know Latin?

Maybe what is missing is 'of ill repute'.....

What is probably missing is your acquaintance with Monty Python.

Thank you, the last word was:

Vis

Ahh. Vis means strength, force or power.

@paul-a-roberts said
If so, please would you translate the 4 words on my avatar picture...

I would translate it as "I want to be paid for protection."

That's seven words. I think it may be, "Show me the money"....along the same lines. 🤔

Cur pullum ad transire via?

Ut ad alterum latus.

The old ones are the best - first penned by the emperor Hadrian.

Thanks again.

I am pleased that the words do come out the way I was meaning. This will be the cover for one of my novels - when it is finally finished - and represents a group of 'individuals' who are working to protect the planet. And they will have a lot of strength.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the thoughts, rather than a mercenary type of organisation, it will be a very old one, with a great deal of acquired wealth through the generations.

There has been the thought of having some of their activities paid for, but mostly they will be a team supporting the planet (and the 'good' as they see it).

Again, thank you for your help and input.

Sounds a bit like the theme of The Day the Earth Stood Still.

What is the source of the artwork and the inscriptions, if I may ask?

Some people say tomato some people say potato....

I don't believe you have that expression correct! 😉

The artwork was one I designed in pencil form, and then had a graphic designer help turn it into its current form.

The words were ones that I got from Google Translate, but not knowing latin, I hoped that someone who knows the language could update/correct me.

Good luck with the novel!

You paid a graphic designer to create this logo without knowing the meanings of the words?

Will this novel be a continuation of the Marvel franchise?

😀

I hope not, or else a 'cease and desist' order might be on his horizon.

In the past, Marvel would litigate at the drop of a hat.
