Having Googled far and wide and not wanting to wake my friend who took Latin as a subject up (it's 2:20am), does anyone here study Latin or have better knowledge of the written language than I do? I wish to write "False Earth" and the translations for each word are "Falsum" and "Terra", so the assumption is that Terra Falsum is the translation. However, the translation of "False Hope" is fals[b]a[/b]m spem", so would that mean that the translation should be Terra Falsam, or Falsam Terra?
Any ideas?

You should ask the old Pope, he's not up to much anymore.

If it's just "false earth" than "Terra Fulsum." is correct. If you're using it in a sentence or anything, then we're gonna be playing with the different cases and 10 different ways of saying it depending on its place.

Shoot, I can't find my Latin dictionary. Nonetheless, according to Yates's Law shouldn't it be Terra Falsa?
