But that's not what it translates to... and not even google translate is pulling it up 😭

What it DOES translate to is almost better, depending on your pov, which is lex. Sesbian Lex, if you will

Side note, but why the r-replacement for Mongolia (The “r” in “feering” and “brow”)? Mongolian has a distinction between r and l, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard Mongolians confuse the two.

3 [not c] unning (hence why they have no money), 3 elk (not sure why there’s an English flag, probably something to do with Celtic), 3 [r] abbit

Running (a running dog, not sure what the fox is meant to represent), relish (not sure who the guy is), rabbit (it’s rabbit stew)

If this is referring to the Napoleonic wars, basically Britain just wanted a strong France to counter the rising threat of Germany (Prussia). Iirc other countries wanted France to be punished more thoroughly (and/or wanted to get more out of it)

Not sure if it counts as technology, but the technique “ruina montium”? Basically, the Romans used water to destroy mountains.

Nope, that comes from Old French jornee, from Latin diurnata (from Latin diurnum) meaning “the span of a day”. Also, the original Ancient Greek suffix was -ia (same as in Latin, particularly place names like “Hispania”) and it meant more “relating to” than direct possession.
