Alana in Canada Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (Latin, sorry) There is a flat line omicron over the first a. It occurs in the sentence Balaenae in oceano natant Is it fish? The word has shown up in our excercises without being on our vocabulary sheets. (And we have to draw it, so it isn't in the answer key! :) Thanks.

Dovie Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 It's whale. It is introduced on pg 266 but isn't in one of the vocab lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
