Cor, I love a conlang mystery! Let's see...

Perhaps "someone", like aliquis?

Perhaps "someone" or "anyone" or something along
those lines? Inde seems to have become an
indefinite pronoun in V.L. and formed compounds
with other words.

Could this one mean "Winter"? It is the case on
O.Pr. (et al) that an N is apparently mistakenly
inserted, as if folk etymological forces wanted
there to be a known prefix "in-" in stead of a
more mysterious "i-".

It's not ex+duobus is it? No, judging from its
use in Machu 1, it's obviously "became", assuming
"indjindrud" = then (inde+introitus perhaps? or
perhaps inde+intra+ud??). In any event, -u seems
to be a 3s ending while -ud doesn't seem to be.

How about ad+dubitum+are > adubitare? Gives the

Sorry, I can't help with this one.

You must have most of Matthew done by now!
Padraic.
Almighty and Eternal God,
help us to realise that we are no longer the young and the restless;
but help us all remember that we have one life to live;
let us remain always close to you, walking not in Ryan's hope,
but in Christian hope, for our destination is Heaven, not J.R.'s Dallas.
May mothers and fathers of our community always pray to You "Bless
and protect all my children."
Like sands in the hour glass, so these are the days of our lives;
and so, as the world turns, and as some of us have to visit the Doctors
and the general hospital, may we always keep You dear, God,
as the Guiding Light.
Then, we won't be concerned with a foolish search for tomorrow,
walking on the edge of night. For together, dear Lord,
we will be able to create and build another world. Amen.
Rev. Carl A. Fisher, SSJ
