In response to Discipula Noctis's 1-star review, I had to actually look to see if "litus -oris" was in the Bantam Latin Dictionary. Actually, it is. However, I'm going to go one step further. I also own the Oxford Latin Dictionary, so I thought it would be fun to compare the entry for "litus -oris" between the two references.For anyone who is curious why I own a five dollar Latin dictionary when I own a four hundred dollar Latin dictionary, it is because the five dollar Latin dictionary is quick to use. The four hundred dollar Latin dictionary is for purposes of precision in senses of the word. You'll see what I mean below. I abbreviated the example sentences of the Oxford dictionary, because there are too many sentence examples to include here.---------------------Bantam Latin Dictionary:lit*us -oris n seashore, beach, coast; river-bank; litus arare (prov) to waste effort (literally, to plow the shore)---------------------Oxford Latin Dictionary (abbreviated):litus ~oris, n Sts. written littus [dub.]1. A sea-shore, coast, strand. B the shore of a lake. C the bank of a river.quid illuc est.. hominum secundum ~us? Pl. Rud. 149; Acc. trag 569; solebat...
