Words & Wordplay - December 2007

I have found certain words myself, but I would like a grammar correct translation for a story I am writing.

"Nube" is cloud.
"Orbis" is world, round, etc...
"Subnublius" is cloudy.

I would like the phrase to be "Nublius Orbis." I think that would sound cool in a story, but I want it to be correct Latin. Anyone got any ideas?

For those of you who don't know what a jargon is," it's the practise of never calling a spade A spade when you can call it a manual earth reconstructing instrument."

I need some to confuse my poor greek students in their exams. (they seem to think they are getting to know english better than I do, if you can BELIEVE it!)

I love the word craggily! I looked it up and found that it is considered an adverb of the word "craggy." However, whenever I've seen this word used or spoken, it's always used as an adjective. i.e. "Look at the beautiful, craggily mountain." Another adverb used as an adjective is the word scraggily. Well, I was wondering if this is just improper use, or if there is some obscure grammar rule that justifies us using adverbs as adjectives.

I am reading through endnotes in a thesis & I often find (E.T.)
eg
1. Hans von Campenhausen’s The Virgin Birth in the Theology of the Ancient Church, London : S.C.M. Press ( E.T.) 1964.
2. O. Wyan, London : Lutterworth ( E.T.) 1934.
Please, what does E.T. mean here. It is not Extra Terrestrial!

It's about the fall of Rome but what does it mean word for word????

HERE was old Rome that stretch'd her empire far,
In peace was fear'd, triumphant was in war:
Here 'twas, for now its place is only found,
All that was Rome lies buried under ground.

These ruins hid in weeds, on which man treads,
Were structures which to Heav'n rais'd their proud heads:
Rome that subdu'd the World, to Time now yields,
With rubbish swells the plains, and strews the fields.

Think not to see what so renown'd has been,
Nothing of Rome, in Rome is to be seen;
Vulcan and Mars, those wasting Gods, have come,
And ta'en Rome's greatness utterly from Rome.

They spoil'd with malice, ere they would depart,
Whate'er was rare of Nature or of Art:
Its greatest trophies they destroy'd and burn'd;
She that o'erturn'd the World, to dust is turn'd.

Well might she fall, 'gainst whom such foes conspire,
Old Time, revengeful Man, and Sword and Fire:
Now all we see of the great Empress Rome,
Are but the sacred reliques of her tomb.
