-It is clear from Lucius' response that it did a better job of pun-rendering than in [[DW]]: [[The Web Planet]]. (I mean come on, Isop-tope?)  Anyway, my guess is that the harmless/armless pun would be rendered "Sed non est bracchiatus" (bracchium meaning arm), a pun on "bracatus" (meaning foreign, barbarian, or effeminate, lit. "trousered").  And I assume that the sun/son pun would be rendered as a "sol/solus" (sun/alone) pun of some sort.  "Every sun must set ... it will rise alone", perhaps?  Any other thoughts? - [[User:Tawaki|Tawaki]] 05:37, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
