Caeli enarrant gloriam Dei

Be careful, Harm, next thing you know, we are going to have ludwigm complaining about sexual harassment and saying Mormon women are sexual repressed and inappropriately coming on to men... if you keep this up. I agree with your assessment though :smile:

http://www.answers.com/topic/pupation

n. (Zool.) the act of becoming a pupa.

http://www.answers.com/topic/pupa
Home > Library > Literature & Language > Dictionary
n., pl. -pae (-pē) or -pas. The nonfeeding stage between the larva and adult in the metamorphosis of holometabolous insects, during which the larva typically undergoes complete transformation within a protective cocoon or hardened case.
[Latin pūpa, girl, doll.]

In hungarian, we use this word to persons who build impenetrable husk around themselves, to keep out the whole world.

I am sorry for any misunderstanding.
Please don't forget, I am thinking in hungarian.
Every word You read here, passed the imperfect filter of my translation hu->en.
Every word You write, should pass the another one, the en->hu tr.

And unfortunately, I have neither urimthummim, nor seerstone.
