[sciatrix]

today I learned that Latin had a verb meaning to fart silently, which just seems like an overarching achievement for any language--and it's even onomatopoeic! (vissire, for the curious).)

You know, now that I think about it, it totally makes sense to conceptualize soundful and soundless farts differently! Do you know if vissire was a subset of regular farting or a different thing altogether?
