Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Joseph Brazauskas: 'Leo', yes, but 'saltandi' is a genitive of the gerund, which is in essence a verbal noun. Hence it would mean 'Lion of the Dance' rather than 'Dancing Lion'. Perhaps you meant 'saltans'?

  -> Well, I don't know about "saltans", but "saltandus" would work in place of "saltandi".

neutral  Giusi Pasi: it would be 'leo saltans' (nominative case)
1 hr
  -> OK, OK, "saltans". I concede and grant "saltans".

agree  Will Matter: we're definitely dancing around with this one, FYI, see my 'Klingon' note.
