Before moving on to Cap XI can someone please confirm I’ve got this right. Thanks

Canis ostium claudit - The dog closes the door
Canis ostium claudere potest. - The dog can/is able to close the door
Ostium a cane clauditur - The door is closed by the dog.
Ostium a cane claudi non potest - The door cannot be closed by the dog.

Any idea how to type the macrons? (Windows 10).

If you go into language settings Settings>Language, you can install the Maori (MR) keyboard. You’ll find that pressing the hyphen key plus a vowel will yield a macronised vowel.
P.S. The sentences look fine.

Out of curiosity, does the windows version of the Maori keyboard do y? The Mac version does not.

Thanks, Aetos. And so onto the next chapter.

The only keyboard I can download is Te reo Maori which will not yield a macronised vowel when pressing hyphen key plus a vowel, although the a in the above Maori does appear macronised on screen. Anyway, not to worry, but thanks for trying to help!

Yōū cōūld try ūsīng thīs? Alt+vowel to get a macron or just use the buttons.

Pianophile,
Sorry about that. I should have been a little more explicit. You need to select your language pack (it can be English), then when the options button appears, you’ll see “add keyboard”. Scroll down and you’ll see the Maori keyboard. In any event, here’s a step by step to install the keyboard:

You can do this with just about any language pack installed. After it’s installed, use control+shift to toggle keyboards.

Doesn’t work in Windows either :frowning:

Croeso! Ti’n siarad yr hen iaith yn dda iawn :wink:.
