Default Where Be Ye

I think "crescent shaped" would be "lunata," not "lunatia" (assuming the
adjective is modifying a feminine noun). At least Lewis and Short shows no
entry for "lunatia."

To say "moonlight" I think you'd have to write it as "lumina lunae," i.e.,
"light of the moon."

Vale,

Lunatia, I'm told by the previous owners, is latin for Moonbeam. the name
seemed funny at first, but it kind of caught on



It means, "Crescent shaped."

Moon light is "Luna lumina."
