Is there a context we should be made aware of?

Latin stercus, (stercoris, 'dung'), is a third declension neuter noun, but I guess by a stretch and in a pinch, it could be adjectivified. Ceci n'est pas un seing.

As near as I can make it out. Jam Arsa Mentvla Frigesco Now I am chilled by a burning/flaming membrum virile. But JAMF is also a well-known acronym, q.v. Ergo merda stercissima atque micturio hominium sum. Which, as I wrote earlier, should be: Ergo merda stercorissima atque micturio hominium sum. Therefore I am the filthiest dung and the urine of men. Seems to be a play on Man is the measure of all things. Hyokheutes Mesembrinos. 1369. Homunculus humilis atque anserculus. This one took me a while, but it seems to be: Greek huos 'pig, hog' + ?? okheutes 'lewd person, lecher'. And mesembrinos 'belonging to noontide; southern'. Lowly, little man and the gosling. I was hoping Varaha would give us his translation, but he seems a tad shy. Ceci n'est pas un seing.
