A Scholarly Question

oakenguyFolks who are fluent in Latin, could I please get a translation of these phrases?
*Daddy liked elves
*Lick Not the Elf
*Education Is a Shield
('Education is a Shield' translates to "Thuto Ke Thebe" in Malagasy, which is totally kickass. I have a suspicion that a LOT of school mottoes would rock in Malagasy. Plus, lemurs on the athletic fields.* But that's just me.)
All this may or may not be fallout from my new larping team getting together yesterday for twelve hours of brainstorming, garb-making and getting the newbie up to speed, which was totally awesome. All of which took place in an eco-village named Camelot which may or may not be what Skinner's 'Walden Two' would have looked like if 90% of the community had belonged to the SCA, and the remaining 10% were roaming screeching packs of semi-feral children.
All of which may or may not have been even cooler than Saturday, when D and I got to hang out with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vozeatscake and her family including her chickens Nancy, Nancy, Nancy, Houdini, Nancy and Bo, exploring some of the neater bits of Providence--giant park! disturbing bouncy-train! very cool Asian restaurant that served both lort (baby egg rolls) and loat (a soup)!
All in all, what an awesome weekend. :)
*Whenever I picture Madagascar I imagine lemurs being as common as pigeons and taking up the same ecological niche. Well, except the whole 'building nests underneath bridges'. That would be silly**.
**That's the capybaras.
