Quote the Raven

[Darth Eggplant]

"Quanti Canicula Ille In Fenestra"

is a Latin phrase

(and a poor one at that)

off the Coat of Arms

for the City of Ankh-Morpork,

the Discworld's largest city.

It's coompanion quote (or Motto) is:

"Merus In Pectum Et In Aquam."

 

The younger of the two mottoes,

"Merus In Pectum Et In Aquam."

which translates to

'Pure in Mind and Water'

was devised by a rather high minded

committe during the early days

of the first Republic,

and is considered a jolly good joke

by all denizens of of Ankh-Morpork.

 

The older and strangely

more popular motto is:

"Quanti Canicula Ille In Fenestra"

which translates to

'How Much Is That Small Dog

in The Window?'

this mottoes origin is the subject

of urban legend but it can be traced

back as is the case of so many of the

cities oddities to the reign of

King Ludwig the Tree.

score now stands thus.
