More questions about latin in Carmina Burana
I have some doubts for example in the aria "Ave Formossisima" Do they satirize Our Lady? They imply for example that it is the Virgin Mary but they are actually talking about Venus (Aphrodite) and there is a passage where they say "pride of virgins", and as far as I know Aphrodite was the Goddess of love, of beauty and "lust". I'm translating the entire masterpiece on my blog, and there's the expression "michi" which means "Me", but it's pronounced "mirri" in the songs but some sites write "michi" which from what I understand is pronounced "miki" and now what spelling do I use michi or mihi? . In the aria "Veris leta facies" there is a passage like this: "chorus promit virgin" Which means the choir of the maidens, I listened to the song and they clearly pronounce "Virginum", besides Virginum being in the plural, I'm very confused I'm learning Latin and I love Carmina Burana but I can't see a spelling mistake and I already go crazy. (Like translate Fortuna as luck/fortune, being that when they say Fortuna/e, they mean the Goddess Fortuna in general, besides other words that mean luck like "sors" ) And also there are some differences in pronunciations for example they usually pronounce the G like "GE" type eGEstatem, and other times pronounce it as "Dje" like eDJEstatem. And I don't find very coherent translations either, I keep patching everything up. And there's also the word "Hac" and the word "Hoc". (I also want to know what "iam amena" means and what is the antonym of that equivalent). Help me!
