| | plus uno maneat perenne saeclo!
As I see it, perenne must be an adverb deriving from the adjective perennis.
It couldn't be directly related to saeclo or it would be perenni from the usual i-declination in adjectives, at least.
Therefore, I think plus uno saeclo serves appositionally to perenne - or the other way around - and thus, I think the correct translation in English could be:
"let it last a long time, for more than one generation!" or perhaps even: "let it last continually for more than one generation!"
I've made the same "mistake" in my Danish contribution.
So, could you please correct from: "lad den holde sig i mere end ĂŠn, langvarig generation!" to this instead: "lad den holde sig langvarigt, i mere end ĂŠn generation!"
Thank you! -August | | ![](images/hr.gif) | August Holst Thomsen

| | OK, I have replaced: "let it last for more than one longlasting generation" by "let it last a long time, for more than one generation".
and "lad den holde sig i mere end ĂŠn, langvarig generation!" by "lad den holde sig langvarigt, i mere end ĂŠn generation!"

| | the adjective is perennis, perenne, so perenne is the neuter form, in agreement with quod. | |
