In Response To: School motto (Stopsy)

a very strange motto indeed
# ut : (+ indic.) when, as.
# ut : (+ subj.) (command) to, that.
# ut : (+ subj.) (purpose) in order that, to, that.
# ut : (+ subj.) (result) so that, that.

# severitas : severity, rigor, sternness, strictness.
# severiter : harshly.
# severus : stern, harsh

seges : wheatfield, wheat crop, field of wheat
these are trainslations

I think it must mean something like:
ut= when
severis: you are stern, harsh...
seges: field of wheat
thus a free translation would be
When you are stern you'll become a field of wheat (meaning you could become fructile...)
