Latin folks!

[shanmonster]

I spent the last hour and a half trying to compose some poetry in Latin. I'm willing to bet it's dog Latin (mutt Latin, at that), because my grasp of the language is tenuous.

But if your grasp is decent, can you scan this and tell me if it makes sense?

Eruo

Miser perturbatio, miser quemadmodum.
Exanimus mihi.
Vindici, transporto meus mucro amor.
Talionis cum meus gladius imbibo meus cruorem.

Eruo has attested meanings of elicit, pluck/dig/root up, overthrow, and destroy, while deruo and its conjugations translate as cause to fall/collapse, detract/take away, fall down/off, and throw/cast down. Eripio has the double meaning of rescue, or take by force. The most common usage of admio is annul, but it also had attested translations of rescue, deprive/steal/seize, withdraw/take away/carry off, and castrate. Vulgar Latin has delere and destruere for destroy (interestingly, there's not a word in the colloquial that translates as rescue). Raze can be translated as adaequo, complano or conplano (both of which also mean "smooth out trouble"), diruo (also means bankrupt), excindo and exscindo (exterminate or destroy people), and excido (cut down, destroy). If eruo has the double entendre attested, I can't find it.

Lubido and libido both work for describing pure lust, with an emphasis on pleasure. For lustful passion with a hint of madness, you've got caleo (hot with passion, inflamed), incendio (fiery passion/love/hostility), cupiditas (lust, carnal desire, and greed), and aegrotatio (morbid desire/passion, unhealthy moral condition).

Hey, glad to help! Let me know if you need me to chase anything else down.
