Hi Guys,
One of the men -- Dr. Zachary Smith aka Doc -- from over at RCTQ
(the quilting newsgroup) needs a Latin translation for "crazy quilt". I
told him to post his request here because I know we have several Italian
stitchers & designers who lurk but don't often post. I wanted to let
you all know that he is legit -- not some spammer. If he posts himself,
then folks can more easily contact him directly with a translation if
show/hide quoted text
that's what they prefer to do. CiaoMeow >^;;^<
show/hide quoted text
PAX, Tia Mary >^;;^< (RCTQ Queen of Kitties)
Angels can't show their wings on earth but nothing was ever said about
their whiskers!

Thanks Mary,
OK, consider this my request, 'cuz it is.
We (DW and myself) just thought it would be a neat embellishment to
embroider "crazy quilt" upon a crazy quilt in Latin.
As Mary intimates, "Reply to author"/email is fine too if you prefer.
Thanks.
Doc Smith

Well, I took a whole lot of Latin in college. So just for fun, I played with
this a bit.
There is no good way to translate quilt. Vestis for a blanket, and that is
pretty much a catch all clothing, blankets and other coverings. Pluma can
mean featherbed which is sort of a quilt.
Now to crazy - is basically rabid - all sort of nasty connotations there....
So off to the thesaurus I went
Insane could be demens or insanum
Silly is leviculus
Absurd futurus
Go play on a Latin/English translation page and have fun.

Yay Latin!
What do you think about jocosus (playful)?
Quilt is rather more problematic. My New College dictionary gives
lodix (f) or stragulum (n) for blanket, but I'm not familiar with
those. Didn't come up much in Livy or Caesar. I have my Lewis and
Short downstairs and I'll check citations if anyone want me to follow
up on those.

Yours is a year or two less rusty than mine.....
I do like the playful suggestion...
