Latin Question-Transcript Error? (Lost City Spoiler)

He def should be saying dormata.

[Anubis]

It was dormada!

[Iskandra]

Okay, now I *have* to say something linguistic -

the /t/ in American English, if it follows a stressed syllable and is in between vowels...well...it's not called "lax t" for nothing. That means it sounds *almost* like a d. There you are.

It's just O'Neill's American pronunciation of Ancient

[Anubis]

lol I love the way he does it. Although it would seem weird in another accent

[Anthro Girl]

You say dolmata and I say dormata
You say dolmada and I say dormada
Dolmata, dormata, dolmada, dormada
Let's call the whole thing off...

<sincere apologies to George Gershwin>

I'm still sticking with "dormata".
