What does fortis ferox et eeier mean?
"Fortis Non Ferox" is latin for "Strength not Fierceness". It is the Motto of the Kimball Family.
What is the correct SIC vis pacem para bellum or SI vis pacem para bellum?
The Latin word sic means "such" or "in this way" or "thus". It is used in modern English when quoting someone else who has clearly used bad spelling or grammar.
Since the meaning of your sentence is "IF you want peace prepare for war", the word has to be si, Latin for if: si vis pacem para bellum.
What does animo mean in English?
Help to the soul may be the English translation of 'aux animo'. But the English translation assumes 'aux' as an abbreviation for 'auxilium'. In the word by word translation, the word 'auxilium' is a neuter noun in the nominative singular, and means 'help'. The word 'animo' is a masculine noun in the dative singular, and means 'to the soul'.
What does sic transit Gloria mundi mean in English?
Sic transit Gloria mundi is a Latin phrase that means "Thus passes the glory of the world," but is more commonly interpreted as "Fame is fleeting."

What does the latin word trib mean?
Tribuere means "to assign, impart, allot, give" (e.g. tribute). (In this case, that definition is literal; tribuere is a form called the infinitive, like the English "to run", "to give", etc.) If you have any more questions about Latin definitions, go to Whitaker's Words (see the related link) or (shameless self-plug) Logeion (see related link), which also does Greek.
How much is a 1904 e pluribus unum?
You need to provide more information. If you check your pocket change you'll see that ALL U.S. coins have that motto, so it isn't helpful to ID a coin. Please post a new question with your coin's date, denomination, how worn it is, and whether it has a mint mark.
Anchor is one English equivalent of 'ancora'. This is the translation in terms of 'ancora' as the feminine gender noun. There also is the same spelling for a common Italian adverb. As an adverb, 'ancora' may be translated as again, more, still, too, yet.
What is the Latin translation for the word live in Latin?
I would guess it would be proficere, from which Eng. profit comes from via French, or you could say simply iuvare/juvare which means to "enjoy" (in its abstract sense, with an object). Best Latin word for 'thrive' is vigere.
What is the Latin translation for Higher Standard?
There are several possibilities, each with slightly different nuance. If you supply the context (religious, educational, moral, sexual, organizational, legal...you get the idea), then it would be easier to select the right combination. Each of those words has a history.
For "higher" you could use altus (the simple word for high, thus altitude), or celsus (high, lofty, often with respect to hills or towers, sometimes arrogance--but the other adjectives could be used for arrogance also), or sublimis (lofty, high, high-minded)
For "standard" you could use formula (a standard or pattern for things), mos (custom, habit, thus morality), ordo (thus order), or regula (a ruling standard. This is the word preferred by monastic orders)
The adjective has to be in the comparative degree and must agree with the chosen noun in gender case and number. Here are some possibilities from the above choices:
mos celsior (altior, sublimior)
regula celsior (altior, sublimior)
ordo celsior (altior, sublimior)
formula celsior (altior, sublimior)
How do you translate the 4th principal part of a latin verb?
When you look up a verb in a Latin dictionary, it will almost always give three or four words. These are the principal parts. For example, the principal parts of 'to love/like' are amo, amare, amavi, amatus.
The first part is the singular, 1st person, present, active, indicative form of the verb. In the case of 'to like', this is amo, which means 'I like'.
The second part is the present, active infintive. amare = 'to like'.
The third part is the 1st person, singular, perfect, active, indicative form. amavi = 'I liked/I have liked'.
The final part, which not all verbs have, is the masculine singular perfect passive participle. amatus = 'having been liked'. Usually, this can be translated into more natural-sounding English when in a sentence. Intransitive verbs (ones without a direct object, such as 'to walk' or 'to run', have no fourth part. (Some dictionaries give a different form, the supine, as the fourth principal part. This is a distinction without much of a difference, since the supine is identical to the participle except that it ends in -um instead of -us.)
In deponent verbs (verbs which are always formed in the passive voice, but which have an active meaning, such as conor, conari, conatus sum, 'to try', only ever have three parts, which are the same as the first three parts of a normal verb. by removing sum from the third part, we can find the perfect active participle (only deponent verbs have perfect active participles instead of perfect passive participles); in this case, conatus, 'having tried'.

Two different US one dollar coins were made in 1921. One is a PEACE dollar the other is a MORGAN dollar. A Peace dollar is worth more than a Morgan, it has the word PEACE on the rock on the reverse of the coin the eagle is standing on, it's worth at least $70.00 and the Morgan is $33.00-$39.00 but only IF the coins are in collectible condition.
What does the latin root ed mean?
Nothing. There is no word ed in Latin.
Many Latin words begin with ed- (edico, edictum, edisco, edissero, editio, editus, edo, edoceo, edomo, edormio, educatio, educator, educo, edulis, edurus and more) but the element ed- has no meaning on its own. In many cases the first element is really e- meaning out of, away from, from, by, after or on account of.
Educo (I lead or draw out) is made up of e (out of) + duco (I lead).

the literal translation of Praetio prudentia prestat is Wisdom Is Beyond Price which I think is the motto of the Lewis pipe band
What is the Latin root of the English verb 'pondered'?
Pend- is the Latin root of the English verb "pondered." The English active past tense ultimately traces back to the Latin noun pondus ("weight," from the root ponder-), the verb pendere ("to hang," "to suspend," "to weigh" and, figuratively, "to ponder") and the root pend- ("hang"). The pronunciation will be "pend" in Church and classical Latin.

The Latin word servo has two possible interpretations:

2. as a noun, it is the dative or ablative singular of servus and means "to, for, from or with the slave."
In classical Latin frater means "brother" or sometimes "cousin", which was often a term of endearment for close friends as well as literal brothers.
In Ecclesiastical Latin, frater was the term used for monks, who regarded each other as brothers in Christ. This term became frere in Old French, which mutated into friarin Middle English - this was only applied to the mendicant Orders of friars, to distinguish them from the Orders of monks.
In a monastery, the communal refectory for monks is sometimes confusingly referred to as the "frater". Here the monks would eat in complete silence, while one of the brothers read from a religious text. Sign language developed in monasteries in order for brothers to communicate during such periods of silence.
