A former professor from grad school sent me these wondering what the correct translation would be. (His areas of expertise are pre-modern Japanese Lit, Bunraku Theatre, and Japanese language.)
Came across these in a novel I'm reading:
On a sign outside a girl's finishing school
Puellae venerunt
Abierunt mulieres
I'm guessing that the first line means something like, "The young girls come [to us]"
"And they...........what?
Then: Veritatem, scientiam, humanitatem hic repperunt
"Truth, science, humanities ______ "
Thanks for any help you can provide.
