weolcenreadum scyccelse -- this is a purple cloak (see the Gospel of Matthew). But what's awesome is that weolcenreadum is literally "shell-fish red." I like this word. I also like heafodpannan - Golgotha is the place of the skull, literally the head-pan. Cool.
I'm going to bed now so I can get up at 4 and finish translating two pages of Luke before I go lead a discussion on the Second Shepherds' Play and then go take a Latin test. :-( Damn, I'm gonna sleep like the dead tomorrow night. Fridays are the WORST.
