| | The translations have helped very much in understanding just what these poems mean, but I have listened to the texts and I cannot help but ask why you read "u" instead of "v" and "k" instead of "ch". For example, in poem thirteen we Romanians would read "cenabis" with a "ch" and not a "k". Moreover, I've noticed that you read the genitive ending of the first declension singular (ae) as "ae", and not "e". Is this another way of reading Latin texts?
Just wondering.

| | It's actually more original. The softening of the c from /k/ to /tʃ/ was very late Latin, and not as Catullus would have spoken it, and likewise with v, spoken by you as /v/ but spoken by Catullus as /w/.
