Law/Patents - Law (general) / Sentencing
Greek term or phrase: παρά φύση ορέξεις
Its from a sentencing document which sets out what sentence is applicable for particular crimes:

Οποιος άδικα αρπάζει ή απαγάγει οποιοδήποτε πρόσωπο με σκοπό αυτό να υποβληθει, ή να τύχει τέτοιας μεταχειρισής ώστε να τεθεί σε κινδυνο να υποβληθει, σε βαριά βλάβη ή στις παρά φύση ορέξεις οποιουδήποτε ή γνωριζει ότι είναι ενδεχόμενο το προσωπο αυτό να τύχει τετοιας υπόβολης ή μεταχειρισης είναι ενοχος κακουργηματος και υπόκειται σε φυλάκιση 10 χρόνων.

(The document is a poor quality scanned pdf so apologies if I have the accents wrong and a few commas in the wrong place!)

Thanks in advance.

Maria it is very common for nouns to be used as adjectives to define or describe another noun (as mentioned in all English grammars). well anyway what do you think of impulses of buggery? this is grammatically fixed (although in languages nothing is fixed really since they evolve, therefore you always improvise).

oh! of course I believe that unnatural impulses is correct. It depends on whether you prefer to be entirely concrete or provide a more general word. In both cases they get the meaning of the sentence.

neutral  Maria Karra: Antonia,buggery=sodomy (noun); I don't think we can use it as an adj here; as a noun: impulses of sodomy/buggery? It doesn't sound right (I get no web hits either)/ Not what I meant; I know the EN grammar :)) see rest of my comment, I can't find any refs
