The English equivalent of the Latin sentence 'contemno sic profundus' is the following: Thus do I despise the depth. The word-by-word translation is as follows: 'contemno' means '[I] have contempt for'; 'sic' means 'thus'; and 'profundus' means 'the deep'. Latin speakers and writers aren't required to use subject pronouns, except for emphasis and in the case of a need for clarification. The latter tends not to be a problem except in the third person, where a subject may be he/she/it in the singular. Otherwise, the verb endings clearly identify first [I, we] and second [you, you all] person speakers.
