Re: Mamas, Don't Let Yer Babies Grow Up to Be Philologists



> "Uva Uvam Vivendo Varia Fit."

My Latin is very rusty (rustic??) but since no one else has attempted
this yet:

Uva are grapes or berries. I'm probably scrambling my vaguely remembered
case endings and tenses, but it looks something like "Various grapes
made living grapes." Not exactly clear, but then mottos seldom are.
Anyone care to speculate on an interpretation?
