The Romans absorbed the influence of many different tribes, including the Etruscans and Umbrians (Umbri) into their own culture. These other tribes are especially the source of some of their religious terms and customs.
When working with Latin sentences, continue to practice separating the essential parts (subject, verb, sometimes direct object) from the parts that can be translated last (such as prepositional phrases). Seeing the “simple sentence” inside the more complex one is an important skill in translating Latin.
Remember that all three genders use the same endings in the third declension, except that neuters will have identical nominative and accusative forms, and the plural nominative and plural accusative will end in –a:
nom sg. corpus
acc sg. corpus
nom. pl. corpora
acc. pl. corpora
