"a fall" in Latin

Ahh, thanks for nothing you guys, I just asked my Latin prof.

Humptius Dumpty in muro sedebat
Humptius Dumpty magnum casum habebat.
Omnes regis equi omnesque virorum
Invenire non poterant omnes fragmentorum.

Sorry, rufio, just saw this.
The prof did a better job than I would have done.
(Guess that's why he's the prof.)

Turns out it's casus, casus (4th dec) if all you other Latin nerds wanted to know.

Heh, the really funny bit is that the grammar for forming that was at the end of the chapter for tommorrow. Guess I didn't look hard enough.... *headdesk*

Now that you've got me looking at it...
your version substitutes "find all of the pieces" rather than "put together again". Poetic license, I assume. But I think the correct Latin usage would be "omnia fragmenta" rather than "omnes fagmentorum".

Just my two sesterces.
Vale.

Yeah... that was a bit of poetic liscense. It turns out that nothing rhymes with "Humptium iterum restire non poterant" no matter how you rearrange the words.

Anyway, fragmentum is still a second declension noun, so it still has -orum in the genitive plural unless it's some sort of wierd irregularity. I tried to use the partitive genitive ("all of the peices", instead of "all peices") so that the meter would work. Same with omnes virorum in the line above. I guess it might be omnia though... except, it's not really modifying fragmentum anymore, so maybe not. In any case, it still messes up the bouncy nursery rhyme rhythm, which was the point of the excersize. There's something really funny about nursery rhymes in Latin for some reason.
