Nonsweets bowl turner???
I was going for "Not sweet (as in nice) dish turner." My P. pulcher forbade upright water dishes for quite a while.

Unfortunately I never studied Latin, so I'm limited to what I've seen in this thread and two small Latin dictionaries. I guess I'll have to revise my genus.:rofl:
I can't feel too bad though, Latin isn't a simple language like English.:troll:

Why revise? You got it nearly perfectly! My fault translating dish as bowl.

(Taking over from @Patherophis here I'd rather use the present participle as in patinaversans (like B. vagans, e.g., from vagare = to wander) ;))
