Shame - one of the Latin words is very, very well known in English....

How's your hunt for a question coming on?

Haven't had a proper chance to think yet, been stupidly busy with work.

Things should get quieter later on, will see if I can come up with anything interesting...

I love the way you think it is slightly cryptic. The only thing my old brain cells remember from Latin is that a river horse is a hippopotamus! I'll leave that here in the hope it may help someone else!
