It means the Alpha star in the Wolf constellation, as someone said. :)
-
Alpha [b]wolves[/b] actually, for what it's worth.

actually no, it is both singular and plural. lupus lupi lupi luporum lupo lupos lupum lupi lupo lupos left is singular and right is plural

In the first row you found the nominative case: [i]lupus[/i] means [i]wolf[/i] [b]as the subject in the sentence[/b]; lupi means wolves as the subjects in sentence. Example sentence: [i]Lupus necat homines[/i] = [i]the wolf kills the men.[/i] In the 2nd row you find the genitive case: [i]lupi[/i] means [i]of the wolf[/i] and [i]luporum[/i] means [i]of the wolves[/i]. In the 3d row you found the dative case: [i]lupo[/i] means [i]to the wolf[/i] and [i]lupis[/i] means [i]to the wolves[/i]. In the 4th row you found the accusative case: [i]lupum[/i] means [i]wolf[/i] and [i]lupos[/i] means [i]wolves[/i][b] as the object in a sentence[/b]. Example sentence: 1) [i]Homo necat lupum/lupos[/i] = The man kills the wolf/wolves. 2) [i]inter lupos[/i] = [i]among the wolves[/i]. In the 5th row you found the vocative case: [i]lupe[/i] means [i]"Oh wolf!"[/i] and [i]lupi[/i] means [i]"Oh wolves!"[/i]. In the 6th row you found the ablative case. Example: [i]ab lupo[/i] = from the wolf; [i]ab lupis[/i] = [i]from the wolves[/i].

Then it is 'The Alpha of(/among) the Wolf'
-
Also the last three are: Lupis Lupos Lupis

I see, thanks for the clarification. I defer to your knowledge of Latin.
