You know "cuncta" doesn't mean "complete" but "the whole of", "all together", "all".
I believe "integra" would fit best here... | | |

Leinจำนวนข้อความ: 3389 | Thanks! Done 
I couldn't find the differences between the two words and even with your explanation am not entirely sure of the difference as I interpreted 'cuncta' as 'I am missing part of me, I am not the whole of me'. But I don't doubt that 'integra' would be better here, if that is your feeling | | |
10 May 2011 00:27 | | | Hi dear!
We can't say "cuncta persona" because the adjective"cunctus-a,-um" can be used only to refer to things eg. terrae cunctae (the whole Earth)
But we say "tota persona" (the whole person) or "integra persona" (the whole person, who doesn't lack anything).
Hopefully I was clear enough this time, dear Lein.
