Writing these entries is always a great way to start my day. Assuming Boudicca is speaking Latin in the movie, then I'm pretty sure "salve" (pronounced <i>sal-vay</i>) would be the imperative (command) form of <i>salvere</i>, so yes, "be safe" would be the perfect translation. But shouldn't she be speaking a Celtic language?... My pleasure, Lois! Writing these entries is always a great way to start my day.

It arrived the day before this day's word----Savior----and I watched it right away. Near the end of the movie, right before she heads into her final battle, Queen Boudicca says the word "sal-vay", to her fellow warrior. I assume it means "be safe", possibly? Sort of related to your word of the day, savior. Thank you for this fascinating site! Recently I ordered a PBS dvd entitled “Warrior Queen”.
