Translations

re•flect
From the latin Re + Flectere, to bend.

The teacher's flections are not to be underestimated.
Or are they teachers at all? I have always disliked the parallels of my translations with academia. Flectors?

Genuflect. Same root.

Yes. Definitely Flectors.

I claim this as evidence that translation is more a matter of knowing one's own language than knowing the source's words.
