I only did a year of Latin - forty six years ago - and it's ballista. But, Hob, do you want the farmer's phone number, in Kirkhaugh, so that he can tell you that the name of the site you've incorrectly labeled is 'Thornhope' and not 'Low Thornhope'. Copying someone else's mistake is, perhaps, worse than making the mistake in the first place (and I should know, being mistake prone). If you think of the wet stuff that falls from the sky and add an 'e' on the end - then look him up in the phonebook, another John, see what that says!
