3. The sailors kept on shouting about the punishment of the women.
I came up with:
Nautae dē poenā fēminārum clāmābant.
The answer key gives:
Nautae clāmābant dē fēminārum poenīs.
Two questions:
1. Should it be poenā fēminārum or fēminārum poenā? Or are both correct? Genitive after the word it is about is my preferred order but just using the opportunity to ask.
2. Should it be poenā or poenīs? Punishment in the English sentence in in singular (so I think it should be poenā) but am I missing something.
Thanks in advance
