Question

Help answer this question below.

For a wedding band I want the inscription "et erunt duo in carne una." This SHOULD mean "and the two shall become one." (or "in one flesh") Does this make sense? Does it sound funny as a lone sentence fragment? Any suggestions?

    It is okay, in my opinion. And quite appropriate.

    1) Vulgate (Latin): Genesis Chapter 2:24
    http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/vul/gen002.htm#024
    "23 The man said,
    "This is now bone of my bones
    and flesh of my flesh;
    she shall be called 'woman, [k] '
    for she was taken out of man."

    24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh."
    http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%202&version=31


    2) Vulgate (Latin): Mark Chapter 10:8
    http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/vul/mar010.htm#008
    " 5"It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law," Jesus replied. 6"But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.'[a] 7'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,[b] 8and the two will become one flesh.'[c] So they are no longer two, but one. 9Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." "

    Considering that this is a fragment from the Vulgate Genesis 2:24, yes it makes grammatical sense. I would go for the model of the US model, however, - "E pluribus unum"
