a coined anagram


Explanation:
Note: 'Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec' is an anagram of 'succession of witches' and 'love', two of the main subject matters in Final Fantasy VIII.

http://squaresound.com/lyrics/ff8/liberifatali.html

The chant "fithos lusec wecos vinosec" is the "subtitle" of Final Fantasy VIII. It literally is an anagram of two phrases merged together, according to some Japanese gaming magazines: "Succession of Witches" with "love" intermingled with it.

What does Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec mean? What language is it?

Googleshng:
It's a random anagram of the phrase Succession of Witches and the word Love which just sounds fairly cool, and does not actually mean anything in any language.
