In Response To: Thoughts on GURPS excerpts... (Forrest)

: Also in the ToC, "Sites To See & Sack: Forest
: Heart: Secrets of the Arbors...". I know arbor
: means having to do with trees, but what(/who) are
: "the arbors"?

arbor = tree in Latin. However "arbors" is _not_ the plural of "arbor"... "arbores" is.

: Would someone please translated "The Acit El
: Calendar"?

Haven't the foggiest. Nothing comes even close.

: Would someone please translate "Magus Oblige"?
: I would think it means "obligatory mages".

magus = magician.
oblige = don't think it's correct grammar. The verb 'obligo' means any of "bind or tie around; swathe; render liable; place under a moral obligation; bind (by oath, etc.)" according to my dictionary. However "oblige" is not a conjugated form as far as I can tell. Perhaps it is supposed to be an imperative?
