Anyone one know Latin?

[Anders]

So I need the Latin word for Order of the Bloodstone. Order is ordo and bloodstone is heliotropium (borrowed from the Greek). Is the "x of y" construction done by putting y in the genitive? That would be ordo heliotropii. Does that look like recognizable Latin?

And yes, this is for a game, so it belongs here.

[Gumby Bush]

Yep, that's right.

[Anders]

Thank you so much.

Just use a translator app. It is not as cultured as learning it but if you only want a single word that is as good as any.

In my experience, apps suck at translating from English to Latin - they don't handle the conjugations and declensions well. You end up with a lot of nominative nouns and infinitive verbs.

If you know what the conjugations and declensions are used for, Wiktionary's Latin entries tend to give the complete range of forms for each word.

Indeed. It's the same with translating to Finnish.

I don't know that well enough to try. Although Wiktionary's Latin entries were a great help here.
