I'm not entirely sure if this is Latin, but I would be interested if anyone could translate 'Remmus'...
'Emit' is 'he obtains', correct?

Upon further consideration, I've realise that 'Remmus' would be the brother of Romulus, the founder of Rome.
Thus 'Emit Remmus' translates to 'Remmus obtains' or thereabouts.

Out of interest, can anyone give me some sort of etymology on this?

His name is Remus and not Remus. Remus and Romulus builded Rome together, but during the bulding process, Romulus murded his brother Remus because Romus was jumping over his walls.

Doesn't "emit" mean "he/she buys"?

'Emit' means 'he/she bought'.

But after googling I found this: '[...] but the intriguing "Emit Remmus" ('summer time' spelled backwards!) is a strong track which [...]'. :wink:

"Emit" is in fact both present tense 3rd person sg, and past tense (perfectum) of the same person and number of "emere" (to buy, to gain, to acquire, to obtain)

you can search and search but its actually very simple it is summer time backwards right to left which derived from latin ( they read right to left ) and this does make sense if you think about satanic hollywood where they are obsessed with the mirrored effect.
