"Le morte" is not standard French. Standard French for "death" is "la mort". Maybe it's a dialectical or archaic form.

The poster you are responding to said Linda Vester said these words, he didn't say she spelled them out. I think the spelling used by Indiana Jones is not indicative of dialectical or archaic form based on what he *heard*.

(which I had not heard and haven't heard repeated-not that I'm saying she didn't say it).
