From Wikipedia (Sorry!):

The Hyblaean Mountains (Italian: Monti Iblei)^[1] are a mountain range in south-eastern Sicily, Italy. 

The name was derived from Siculi king, Hyblon, "The earliest literary mention of Sicels is in the Odyssey."

susurro (adj)ln55........................................humming.........................apibius levi, bees humming lightly

 

palumbes (palumber, palumbris)ln57........wood pigeons............................raucae, noisy pigeons

From Wikipedia again:

Columba genus:  Wood Pigeon in the Taormina, Sicily

 

"The large bird genus Columba comprises a group of medium to large stout-bodied pigeons, often referred to as the typical pigeons. The terms "dove" and "pigeon" are used indiscriminately for smaller and larger Columbidae, respectively. Columba species – at least those of Columba sensu stricto – are generally termed "pigeons", and in many cases wood-pigeons. The species commonly referred to just as "the pigeon" is the Feral Pigeon (C. livia domestica). It is derived from the Rock Pigeon (C. livia), which also has given rise to the majority of domesticated pigeon breeds, such as the racing pigeon. Meanwhile, "wood pigeon" by itself usually means the Common Wood-pigeon (C. palumbus)."

 

turtur (turtur, turturis)ln58.....................turtle-dove.................................aeria turtur, lofty turtle-dove

From http://www.empken.com/wiki/index.php5?title=European_Turtle-dove:

Just a common turtle-dove image:

So that we get an idea of how it looks like.

Common Name: European Turtle-dove

Cool Facts: The arrival in spring is heralded by its purring song, a rather deep, vibrating “turrr, turrr”, from which the bird's name is derived. Despite the identical spelling, the "turtle" of the name, derived from Latin turtur, has no connection with the reptile, "turtle" in that case coming originally from Late Latin tortuca. 

 

cervi (cervus, cervi)ln59........................stag, deer...................................leves, lightfooted stags

pisces (piscis, piscis)ln60........................fish...........................................nudos, "naked"/bare fish

 

Personal Question anyone can help with:

For lines 57-58:

nec tamen interea raucae, tua cura, palumbes

nec gemere aeria cessabit turtur ab ulmo

Can it ever be:

nec raucae palumbes, tua cura (in apposition), nec turtur,

neither the noisy pigeons, your concern (what he cares about), nor the turtle-dove (another cura)  cessabit gemere aeria (sua cura vera) 

will cease to lament over bronze/money (what his true concern "should" be)

gemo, gemere, gemui, --- : to sigh, groan, lament over (+acc)

aerius, -a, -um : lofty, airy

aes, aeris (n): crude metal, copper, bronze => money?

I thought this may be because if it were a "lofty dove", wouldn't it be aerius turtur, since turtur is masculine.  Tell me what you think or if I'm looking at it funny.  Thanks!  :)
