I bought the second volume of the MNM manga yesterday. I'm going to say right away that the Latium Lexicon Negimarium is full of errors. My Latin professor would have a fit. The Latin phrases themselves are okay, but the "translations" aren't always accurate. Magister Negi Magi can't mean Wizard Negi-Sensei unless you wish to introduce new grammatical rules for Latin. But I really do appreciate the Latin.

Just to clarify on the Charta Ministralis ("Ministral" Card), the Minister (the "Ministral") is the partner of the "Magister", the one who protects the Magician. (That fact is in volume 2, so it's not really that much of a spoiler.) The number that is listed is the seating in the classroom- so Asuna, who is card 8 sits in seat 8. You find out more about the process of selecting a Minister and what the cards do in volume 3. Widya Santoso |

Anyway, your explanation makes sense. Ministralis in this case should be an adjectival form of Minister (male partner, male attendant) or Ministra (female partner, female attendant), so Charta Ministralis should mean something like Ministerial Card as in Attendant Card. I have something to say about the HILARATRIX on the Sakurako card. None of my dictionaries list the word hilaratrix or its masculine form hilarator. Google doesn't help me find anything else that attempts to define the words except a Japanese Negima site. I also found a site that mentions Thresor de la langue françoyse, but that isn't helpful to me.) I wonder where the creator of the card saw hilaratrix. Anyway, I can look at the word and tell what it means. The verb it came from is hilarare, meaning to cheer. If you rip off the are ending and stick the a and the trix suffix at the end, you have something that means she who cheers, which is a good word for cheerleader. There is some writing on Asuna's weapon that I didn't notice until now. There seem to be three words, but I can't make out the second one. The first one is "MINISTRA" and the third one is "ASUNA." The Japanese site that I mentioned earlier shows "ensis exorcizans," meaning exorcising sword.

My copy is coming on Monday! Unfortunately the sender didn't send it the day it came out, but rather the day after the weekend, which was a long weekend! Oh well, I am getting it, so I can't complain. Widya Santoso |

. Oh, and off-topic again, but Ayaka's single "雨上がりの天使" is pretty good. I think the seiyuu (Minagawa Junko; yes, Echizen Ryoma from Prince of Tennis) does a wonderful job portraying the elegant lady-like Ayaka. ^_^ Last edited by sarcasteak; 2004-09-25 at 23:32. |
