| | plus uno maneat perenne saeclo!
As I see it, perenne must be an adverb deriving from the adjective perennis.
It couldn't be directly related to saeclo or it would be perenni from the usual i-declination in adjectives, at least.
Therefore, I think plus uno saeclo serves appositionally to perenne - or the other way around - and thus, I think the correct translation in English could be:
"let it last a long time, for more than one generation!"
or perhaps even:
"let it last continually for more than one generation!"
I've made the same "mistake" in my Danish contribution.
So, could you please correct from:
"lad den holde sig i mere end ĂŠn, langvarig generation!"
to this instead:
"lad den holde sig langvarigt, i mere end ĂŠn generation!"
Thank you!

| | OK, I have replaced:
"let it last for more than one longlasting generation"
by
"let it last a long time, for more than one generation".
and
"lad den holde sig i mere end ĂŠn, langvarig generation!"
by
"lad den holde sig langvarigt, i mere end ĂŠn generation!"
Thanks for the suggestions,

| | | the adjective is perennis, perenne, so perenne is the neuter form, in agreement with quod. | |
