VMs: Re: Latin from the VMS - for Philip Neal

[Xavier Ceccaldi <ceccaldi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Here is some findings about your phrase ;

Siri :  Southernwood (a plant also named Old Man), genitive

rite : according to the rite

Tueo : seems not to be a latin word

Tractem : so that i handle

Because of the genitive and the word tueo, i'm unable to give you a good
translation.

(I'm not an expert)
