Incipit cum? fabula creationis
[fontem recensere]"It begins with (a) story of creation...."--Jondel (disputatio) 14:02, 11 Aprilis 2018 (UTC)
- Incipit cum = 'it begins when'. The syntax of 'It begins with' is fine in English, but doesn't it sound weird in Latin? Why not start with Primum and then say what happens: Primum fabulam creationis enarrat. IacobusAmor (disputatio)
I think that is an excellent way of expressing it although I confess, I still cannot tell when it sounds off/weird or not in Latin. I will make the changes you have suggested.--Jondel (disputatio) 16:43, 11 Aprilis 2018 (UTC)
