Thanks for the response. As you can see the original was posted many months ago. Another member suggested "Convicti non diutius". Any thoughts on the different shades of meaning that the two different renditions give?

"no longer" is a set expression in Latin, which = "non iam"

"diutius" = longer, too long (not used in "no longer")

For ex., in the sentence "You had to wait too long for this translation," you might use "diutius"

"convicti" is made-up Latin

Really, convicti is made up? well it sounds latin I guess, that's why one could believe it to be Smile

You have to be so sure these days, especially if say, one is making a family motto, or a tattoo. You don't want to wind up having something made up to stand for yourself and your kin!

As a noun for "convicts," but not as a plural (adjectival form) of the past participle of the verb.
