Cerebrum mortuus

that's latin for brain dead. which is incidentally my state of mind. Been trying to translate some descriptions from Latin to English and its been one trying exercise.

Nope, Cassell's Latin Dictionary doesn't have it all either, An example of what I'm trying to decipher

Femora depressa, ob-cuneata. Secundum and tertian par pedum subteres, versus apicem compressum, police nullo, leave, digito subulato.
