I can't tell if that's an I or an L at the end of the first word.
A M B L = walk
A M B I = both
ann = connect; apply; join
cresc = grow; increase
grav = weight
fid = trust, faith, honesty
mater = mother
mut = no idea (maybe change? as in mutate)
ob = before; in front of; on account of
rog = request; solicit; question
tort = twist; writhe
sum = to be; exist
vol = will
By the way, I would HIGHLY recommend you look these up in a Latin/English dictionary. I know the words only by how they're used in other words (for example: perAMBuLate, ANNex, FIDelity, CRESCendo, and so on). But I may be wrong on their exact meanings. Look them up.
