sorry. i do not speak latin, or so that it appears.

tho from last word, could be written as;
  'stofulia perefaneuomai gia zumonomos',
  'grapes grown proud for fermentations'.

even that is very rough to put into phonetic form. greek, in it self, is a
very difficult language. using english letters for greek letters is even
more difficult.

scotch, as to block, pejorative. as in 'block from scots'.
