Ah! We must have transected the same L-space
momentarily... That's the dictionary I had in
mind.

Another goody I happened across years ago - and a
form of Latin that most conlangers are probably
unaware of - is Muldoon's "Pharmaceutical Latin".
Unhappily, there are no etymologies; but happily,
there are squillions of chmical, animal and
botanical names all in proper Latin. Comes in
handy for odering a mentha iulepia, for example.

Excellent. I am sure Muldoon would as well, but
it would be hard to extrapolate without
etymologies.
