Grade II mining in Western La Noscea typo

[Ashiee]

While mining in Western La Noscea (Near Camp Skull Valley), I get the dialog:

"You obtain a raw lapis lazuli"
"You sense raw lapides lazuli above where you are mining."

I'm pretty sure it is supposed to say
"You sense raw lapis lazuli above where you are mining." instead

If "lapides lazuli" Is a plural for that word, then I will have been mistaken, but even so, that use of the word seems to be rarely used.

The "lapis" is the stone and "lazuli" is the type of "lapis" concerned. Thus lapis is pluralized to lapides. => Lapides Lazuli.

Though you are correct, the plural term like this is very rarely used, probably because people in school these days tend to not encounter the term and thus do not know of its existence. I expect a great many people to have raised an eyebrow over this term and probably even ask themselves why "lapis lazulis" isn't being used. That thought process itself suggests an evolution in our language, which is not a bad thing.

That being said, in a game filled with archaisms, the more historic the term the more appropriate it is in the context, which makes this one awesome!

For those who like the plural oddities, the plural of Macuahuitl is listed in the supply list of this week's Twin Adder Grand Company.
