Fidei Defensor Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 How would one say "Saint of God".. Sancte Dei?
Thy Geekdom Come Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 If you're referring to the saint, "sanctus/sancta Dei" If you're speaking to the saint, "sancte/sancta Dei"

Fidei Defensor Posted July 22, 2005 Author Posted July 22, 2005 Its like Agnus Dei, so unless the church has been wrong all these years...
raptor13 Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 (edited) besides, isn't the plural genetive deorum, not deum, which would be singular accusative? Edited July 22, 2005 by raptor13
