Dear etaoin: Pretty please, with sugar on it, give us URL to dictionary you used
The one I used is ordinarily quite adequate, but yours must have been better.

Caution-warning in the above link:the link at http://lysy2.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/words.exe, listed above, notes that it "will generate tens of thousands of additional words - some of which are recognized Latin words, some are perfectly reasonable words which were never used by Cicero or Caesar but might have been used by Augustine or some monk at Jarrow, and some are nonsense."

Keiva: you were banned for starting a flame war and refusing to quit.
You used threats to get Wordsmith to re-instate you. You are contemptible.

"Si non convivare, noli tintinare" ... I may obtain a suitable bell and plaque with those words for the door to the AWAD arboreal fane
I would counsel caution here. The entire motto is eerily reminiscient of Si Non Oscillas Noli Tintinnare, which was engraved on a brass plaque on the door of Chicago's Playboy Mansion. Your proposed motto may be even more extreme: google's language-tool translates the italian word convivere as to cohabit.

which is why I said I wasn't sure if it actually was a Latin word...

Quite right, etaoin. Mine was just to be that sure that dr. bill, who understandably seems very excited about that source, fully knows its scope.

You extored reinstatemen from Wordsmith by threat of a lawsuit.
You are completely contemptible.
