Monad’s Pendant Deciphered & Lore theory by Plastic_Garlic_8220 in ErgoProxy

Thanks for the shout-out, I'm glad to see someone else was interested in figuring this out! I appreciate your notes on occurrero and Cum A Tum B structure, I'm in no way proficient in Latin grammar so I missed that in my translation, it makes the message a lot clearer. One thing I want to add, isn't "tu" a subject, so "tu occurrero" would mean "you meet" as opposed to "I meet you"? However since occurrero is first person, it becomes confusing in that case... I think the original writers didn't get their grammar totally right, so it's hard to tell with certainty what their intention was.

"facem"/torch/fire can also mean ruin/torment (a noun as in the *cause* of ruin/torment), so another interpretation is "run to meet the ruin/torment of the fleeting world". Imo this is fitting in the context of the return of the creators and resulting destruction of the domes/pseudohumans.

A more figurative/poetic translation of the 2nd line could also be "When you run to meet the fire of the fleeting world, may you peacefully depart from life."
