Interesting, if cheeky, work.

Experiment #10 is most relevant to AHS.

Experiment #9 is entertaining.

Experiment #11 was a bit of a let down.

Interesting, indeed.

In experiment #9, I think the author has a typo, for he writes that an heraldic expert states:
Quote:

“I would question your use of Latin here… by using the word ‘nom’ the motto [Nom sum dignus] translates to ‘I am not worthy’.

The expert PROBABLY said "by saying nom, the motto translates to "NAME not worthy."

===========

The Latin phrase comes from the centurion’s response to Christ in Matthew 8:8, regarding the centurion’s servant:

 

"Domine,  non sum dignus ut

intres sub tectum meum: sed tantum dic

verbo,  et sanabitur puer meus.

 

"Lord, I am not worthy that

thou shouldest come under my roof:

but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed."

 

 

This, in turn, was modified in the Roman Liturgy when we say:

 

Domine, non sum dignus

ut intres sub tectum meum,

sed tantum dic verbo

et sanabitur anima mea

 

Lord, I am not worthy that

thou shouldest come under my roof:

but speak the word only, and my soul shall be healed
