omnis, acer and potens

Post by solitario »

SALVETE OMNES!
I know it is a lot, but I'm frightened by this omnis, acer and potens from chapter 16 and was wondering if I was doing this properly.
Many thanks to whoever checks this. :)

Well done as far as I can see. The only (minor) thing is where you have in omni animo = in every spirit (dat. OR abl.) and in omni mari = in every sea (dat. OR abl.) - in can only be followed by acc or abl, not dative as far as I know. You are right - omni animo can be dat or abl, but not in omni animo
