How would you say ''three dimensional'' in latin ? As (three dimensional)graph|scope ? I try to invent a steampunk word for holography, and the net have betrayed me.

Well, in Greek  holos is whole and graf is drawing, so holograph is literally whole drawing.  So perhaps universus tractus?  Or how about tripus latus (three sides)?

Unfortunatly as a dead language... the words that aren't there, aren't ever going to be there... Scholors that used to write letters to each other in latin (as a symbol of status) would often have to resort to using modern words where 'newer' things were concerned.

Several modern detectives now claim that “Jack the Ripper” was actually named Carl.
“Carl the Ripper” just doesn’t have the same ring.
