“First reflex would be ‘opi’, “

That is exactly what I thought. Did you steal some of my brain when I wasn’t looking?

That was pure reflex. 6 of us guys got pulled out of french and spanish classes for 'special' lessons in latin with the headmaster from 5th thru 7th grade. Yes, we were the troublemakers.

Think someone that might have served in the Spanish American war. As an aged headmaster at a private school in a time when beating children to get them to learn was perfectly acceptable (personally, for some kids... I think it still is).

We learned mostly by fast, correct guesses, after glossing the text. Nothing like a little bit of physical feedback to stimulate the mind.
