I'm having trouble with a sentence. It just sounds really wierd when I translate it.
Latin : Ne isti turpissimi hostibus arma aut solacium praestent.
My translation: Let not these ugly things surpass the arms or solace of the enemy.

It's a secondary meaning again. It looks to me that "praesto" here means "offer" or "present" or something similar. Also "turpissimi" is masculine, so refers to a group of people.
