Libum edant

Post by burgerking316 »

I think I know the translation, but I just want to make sure.
It looks like it means "Let them/May they eat cake"; is that right?

correct.
“Cum ego verbo utar,” Humpty Dumpty dixit voce contempta, “indicat illud quod optem – nec plus nec minus.”
“Est tamen rogatio” dixit Alice, “an efficere verba tot res indicare possis.”
“Rogatio est, “Humpty Dumpty responsit, “quae fiat magister – id cunctum est.”
