Re: beware Latin

When Roman soldiers marched along their dead straight roads did their Decanus shout "Sinister, Sinister, Sinister, Dexter, Sinister" at them?

Re: beware Latin

Sinistra-left. Then it`s variations-sinister. Cack handed-an insulting term referring to left handers.

Re: beware Latin
