Ship Names

[Anonymous]

I was wondering what all the ship names meant, since they aren't translatable, like through babelfish or anything.  I believe they are greek, but written phenetically in English.  If you translate it into Italian, you get a close match, tho.

I know:
Veritas = Truth
Evigilos = Awake
Libertas = Liberty
Carpe Diem = Sieze the Day
Asperitas = ?
Decerto = ?
Formosus = ?

They are all cool tho.

How are they not translatable?

Asperitas = Fierceness
Decerto = Fight/Contend
Formosus = Beautiful

i meant through the program i was using at least, did you know these names or did you go somewhere to figure it out?

Also, veritas in verb form also means to fear or respect.

Not Greek, but Latin. You translated them correctly, though.

Veritas = Truth
Evigilos = Awake, Alert, Watchful, Hard-working
Libertas = Liberty, Freedom
Carpe Diem = 'Sieze the Day'
Asperitas = Roughness, Severity, Harshness, Fierceness

EDIT: Wow, you folks certainly beat me to this while I was typing.

I already knew Veritas, Libertas, Carpe Diem, and Evigilos. I had to use http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/Latin/ for Asperitas.

is there a latin translator on the web?

EDIT: Yeah, this forum has turned into a circle shaped chat, eh?  (No I'm not Canadian)

EDIT: btw, thanks

Indeed, see my edit above.
