>"exerci turim pellator"
I agree that exercituum would be a good reading from exerciturim, because
"u" could so easily have been read as "ri". I'm less happy with "pellator".
This would be an -a- stem formation from a 3rd conjugation verb. Are there
any examples at all of -ator nouns from 3rd conjugation verbs?
My suggestion of exercitus impellator has "s" read as "r" - which is no
means impossible! I've been trying to find evidence for "impellator" =
"imperator" (which I suggested from memory) - but alas no firm hits as yet!
