haha i was quite sure (you know I'm italian and latin is quite close for a lot of terms) in italy we have saved also the motto "dura lex sed lex" (which means "the law is severe but is the law") but in the other hand i didn't know if was some tiny russian word (can sounds also a bit russian this word no?)in contemporary italian dura means just hard (ex: questa pietra è molto dura - this stone is very hard)of course i liked it!^^
