What does the latin phrase illi ego amor ego mos devoveo mean in English?
That sentence is meaningless in Latin. It looks like something from one of those online translators where you put in English and it 'translates' it to Latin. Word for word, it's:
Illi = Those (but only as a subject of a sentence)
ego = I
amor = love (but only as a noun, never as a verb)
ego = I
mos = habit
devoveo = I devote, I vow, I curse - several other possibilities depending on context, which you can't figure out from this.
edit: I would suggest it's supposed to mean something along the lines of "Those I love I always sacrifice" or "I always sacrifice those I love"
________________________________________
Edit of another user:
It is debatable if this phrase actually means something. There seems to be a major grammatical error in it. Illi, ego, amor and mos are all nominative forms (the subject of a verb). Devoveo van mean I sacrifice. This sentence would be translated as "They I love I habit I sacrifice", which obviously makes no sense at all, but since the first 5 words are all subjects, there is no other way to translate it. In above thranslation, some words are translated as objects and amor is translated as a verb, while it is a noon.
