Six o’clock this evening. The snow doesn’t usually settle, but here it’s still snowing.
Pretty!
Thanks. This is just outside the house where I live and taken leaning the camera against a lamp-post. It’s just as well I took it, because today all the snow had been shovelled away. Unfortunately the houses appear to have a list. Attempts with the built-in correction feature (who needs Linhof?) and by simply turning the photo did not look good.
In the middle distance is a pretzel booth, and to the right a fountain showing not the Three Wise Men, but the three former rulers of Fürth (Prince-Bishop of Bamberg, Margrave of Ansbach and (the imperial city of?) Nürnberg.
Re: in dubio re o???
Please let me know where the “o” comes from in
the deklinatiom of the word “RES” = Thing in English and Sache in German, is:
Nominativus Singl.= RES
Genetivus ” = REI
Dativus ” = REI
Accusativus ” = REM
Ablativus ” = RE(no “O” !!)
Proper Latin should be: IN DUBIO PRO RE (pro with Ablativus !!)
I would be obliged, if you can find for me whether this vowel o is an extra grammatical grant to the juristic faculty.
Thank you very much,
Your truly

Well, this is not res, but it is the adjective reus, which means evil or wicked or bad. So reus is used as a noun, the bad person / the criminal, and that explains the masculine ablative.
