Latin term or phrase: non ad orsa
non ad orsa
ruuta (X)
it is not Latin
Explanation:
and if it isn't Latin, it's gotta be Italian.
Not Latin because ad is followed by the accusative (urssam); also it should be Ursa not orsa.
This does not solve the problem of what it means.
It is a fragment of a sentence
non = not
ad = to, or at
orsa = bear (she bear)

Perhaps it may make sense to you who know all the ins and outs of what surrounds these three words, but to us it is a big mistery.
