Either way I look it up, and I did, they do not appear. This is why I also looked online as well. The morphology I show is accurate to both the meaning we can see on the internet and the root meaning that originates the terms.

No, it is not.
I thought the triangle was a central symbol of Freemasonry?
Masonic Dictionary:
"The equilateral triangle, says Brother D. W. Nash (Freemasons Magazine iv, page 294), "viewed in the light of the doctrines of those who gave it currency as a divine symbol, represents the Great First Cause, the Creator and Container of all things, as one and indivisible, manifesting Himself in an infinity of forms and attributes in this visible universe." Among the Egyptians, the darkness through which the candidate for initiation was made to pass was symbolized by the trowel, an important Masonic implement, which, in their system of hieroglyphics, has the form of a triangle. The equilateral triangle they considered as the most perfect of figures, and a representative of the great principle of animated existence, each of its sides referring to one of the three departments of creation, the animal, vegetable, and mineral.
The equilateral triangle is to be found scattered throughout the Masonic system. It forms in the Royal Arch the figure within which the jewels of the officers are suspended. It is in the Ineffable Degrees the sacred Delta, everywhere presenting itself as the symbol of the Grand Architect of the Universe. In Ancient Craft Masonry, it is constantly exhibited as the element of important ceremonies. The seats of the principal officers are arranged in a triangular form, the three Lesser Lights have the same situation, and the Square and Compasses form, by their union on the greater light, two triangles meeting at their bases. In short, the equilateral triangle may be considered as one of the most constant forms of Masonic symbolism.
The right-angled triangle is another form of this figure which is deserving of attention. Among the Egyptians, it was the symbol of universal nature; the base representing Osiris, or the male principle; the perpendicular, Isis, or the female principle; and the hypotenuse, Horus, their son, or the product of the male and female principle."

I am new to this group. Recently I was doing some geneology and nothing I was told about my family adds up. When I got with my wife her dad threw a fit and did everything he could to keep us apart. No matter what, since we met 5 years ago, 2 kids later, we cannot stay apart.
I remember growing up, my grandpa always talked about his Freemason friends and went to meetings. He had the gold ring with the diamond in the middle. He was a very well known man in the southern part of the state I live in. He taught me many qualities of being a good person, taking care of my family and being honest. I did venture off the right path but I still try to be good in the right ways. While I was doing my family history, my wife was also digging.
Her stuff turned up to not have anything she was told about her family. Actually, we found out that there is a cemetery from long ago with both of our last supposed last names in it. My history shows 20+ newborn- 5 yr old kids that died ranging from same day of birth to exactly a year later to same day different month.
Daughters of Zion came up. One obit said this woman died in a car wreck with a train. It was her and her 2 daughters. It had a comment that said and I quote. "They were killed in a tragic car/train wreck."
The term black widow has been brought up in conversations with her family. We both had questions about our families but don't want to stir the fire.
Some of the names are Williams, wade ,Johnson, Kennedy, pierce, hicks, Eakins, hix, McMillen, and jones.

I don't have my copy of Cassell's with me, but you'll probably find secula listed as saecula. Someone already pointed out the change in orthography (which we sometimes see in modern words like encyclopaediaencyclopedia.) Plus may or may not be under multus, since it's the comparative form of that. If so, that wouldn't be very helpful, but multus/plus/plurimus is first semester stuff and most people wouldn't be looking it up. It is commendable that you are, but sometimes you just need to memorize irregular forms.
Either way I look it up, and I did, they do not appear. This is why I also looked online as well. The morphology I show is accurate to both the meaning we can see on the internet and the root meaning that originates the terms.
Your morphology is wanting. Look at how you arrived at lorum. You cut a letter off the stem, attached it to the affix, and found a new word. In English, it would be like seeing the word "tiered" and breaking it down into tie + red = men's crimson neckwear.

the triangle is the pubic area and the eye is a sideways vagina.
at a fundamental level, the human condition reduces down to issues
surrounding sex and death, and these two considerations are found to be the
drivers behind all human earthly undertakings.
but, of course, we are only part human.
jesus is a mushroom. no offense.
322 is soon on the way.
be-not-ware (of) the ides of march, eh august augustus?
(i try not to use capitals, as a personal protest against the (k)no(w)-ledge
that english (especially) and many other (later) languages are contrived
and encoded creations/evolutions designed for the specific purposes of
deceiving the 'un-initiated').
when i say 'trident (in the skies)', does that mean anything to you august?
edit to add: funnily enough, just as i posted, i noticed i had (1)777 characters
remaining.
methinks it is done already.

There is a lot of duality in this thread and a few people who think just because it is their view it is the truth.
I am gonna give you a definition of what truth is from my point of view. The truth is the knowledge of everything that is including all single souls view of what is.
To believe you know the truth while being disconnected from the information on what is to fool yourself. Even a blessed one who can feel the bliss from the other side (enlightened one) do not know the truth. Just because you have an all seeing third eye that can notice things about reality that others can't does not mean you know the truth. You might be able to make a better approximation/simplification of what is than any other human on the planet. So what the approximation/simplification is still a lie since it is not the truth that really is.
Thinking the ego mind can understand what is and what is not with it's limited information. From the view Christian bible. Still eating the apple of small minded duality are we not?
Idiotic. As if the blessed ones/shining ones/watchers would care if you say Jesus or Buddha. Same brother and sisterhood. Many parts ONE whole connected in the oneness.
The final definition: A New Nobility to set In Order what is Cut.

As I stated, Latin holds many keys to the process of refining truth.
There is a lie and delusion you have believed.
Don't be so sure you hold the correct view of Jesus.

Speaking of the watchers... have you checked in to view this whacked out thread? lol
www.abovetopsecret.com...
Im like you, I believe the Masons for the most part to be good people who care about others.
I can't really fault them for being private with their teachings as I believe Jesus to have done the same in private... teach.
At the highest levels of any organization there is more than likely corruption.

Right. And he is not Cesar (or Caesar).
