Owen McNamara

Ήλθον, είδον, ενίκησα

Explanation:
It is old good latin after all!
(EElthon, EEdon, enIkisa)
-----In 47 Julius Ceasar fought a brief local war in northeastern Anatolia with Pharnaces, king of the Cimmerian Bosporus, who was trying to regain his father Mithradates' kingdom of Pontus. Caesar's famous words, Veni, vidi, vici ("I came, I saw, I conquered"), are his own account of this campaign.
----This phrase is used in cases of fast and adroit solving of a complex problem.

έρχομαι,................., κλείνω

Explanation:
Δεν είμαι σίγουρη αλλά έχω την εντύπωση οτι αυτές οι λέξεις είναι Ιταλικές π.χ. Veni (venire)-έρχομαι.Έχει καμία σχέση το κείμενό σου με λατινικές γλώσσες;Σίγουρα δεν μου θυμίζει καμία Αγγλική λέξη.Μήπως να ρωτούσες μεταφραστή λατινικών γλωσσών;
