What an incredible day! :)

Yeah.
I last looked at the page a couple of minutes ago, since then I've been trawling NSG, so here's from Wiktionary...
wiktionary wrote:From earlier *dẹ̄vos, from Old Latin deiuos, from Proto-Italic *deiwos, from Proto-Indo-European *deywós. An o-stem derivative from *dyew- (“sky, heaven”), from which also diēs and Iuppiter. Cognate with Welsh duw, Lithuanian dievas, Persian دیو (div, “demon”).

The late Old Latin form *dẹ̄vos regularly lost its -v- before a rounded vowel, but it was retained before other vowels, giving rise to case forms both with and without -v-. The presence of -v- in turn prevented the intermediate vowel -ẹ̄- from being raised to -ī-, which led to an alternation between *dē- before back-vowel endings and *dīv- before front-vowel endings. The former gave rise to the nominative deus, while the latter became a separate word, dīvus. Finally, -v- was lost between identical vowels, giving the diī(s) forms, or contracted dī(s).[1] Only the vocative retained the -v-.

Despite its superficial similarity in form and meaning, the word is not etymologically related to Ancient Greek θεός (theós).

As do I. It's had an indirect influence on the conlangs I've made. Sadly, my highschool doesn't teach it, only its' bastardised descendants French and Spanish.

There was/is only one upper secondary school that taught Latin in the town I grew up.
I didn't apply there, because school was "out of my league" back then, so to speak. :p

It's an incredible language and it's a lot of fun. Also, the Aeneid is truly some of the most beautiful poetry ever written and it simply cannot be appreciated properly in English.

Are you rich, or has tuition skyrocketed in the past twenty-five years?
Either way, congratulations. Also, your flag is lighting a fire in my pants.
