It's Latin, once the indispensable tool for international scholarship 
in which most philological discussion was conducted until superseded 
in the late 19th Century by such barbaric tongues as English, German 
and Modern Hebrew.



Like I said, what does this have to do with Hebrew?

OUR Torah scholars and commentators, whose entire energies were 
devoted to learning Torah and teaching it, and were and are still 
keepers of an unbroken chain of tradition and knowledge spanning 
thousands of years, were not using Latin, nor was the Torah written 
in Latin.

Why base your studies on Latin??????  All it does is strip it of 
religious and spiritual meaning, and does not increase your knowledge.
