Citation: virgoes intactoes
Language: sort of Latin
References: The Ionian Mission, page 287
Meaning: intact virgins

Notes:


Correct Latin would be virgines intactae: the singular is virgo, whence Aubrey's error. In his Latin attempts, Aubrey generally tries to achieve the necessary agreement of the parts of speech by making the endings identical. See also, Lexicon:Virgoes intactoes (Maturin's Medicine).
