27 July 2007 23:08 | | | Hello guilon! no, I think that it is some other reason, like :
"ignorancia" begins by a wowel, so that the preposition is "ex".
"Tenebris" begins by a consumn, so that the preposition is "e"
It is like the English "a" and "an
eg : "an error"
"a mistake"
do you see what I mean?
What may have induced you into error is the English version, because it mentions "and", but I think that if it does, it is for equilibrating the two affirmations, and they didn't use that in latin |
