Probably.  When I first say "Romula" I immediately thought "Ah, another
Star Trek language".  And if you're doing this for any kind of published
work, it's conceivable that there'd be copyright issues.  But if not,
feel free to use that word.

You don't have to use only dare.  It's quite conceivable that the two
could be combined into different forms for the same verb, just as
Spanish _ir_ contains forms from Latin _ire_, _va:dere_, and _esse_

And the Romans never came after them?  It's unlikely that a mutiny like
that would remain for very long, they'd send a couple of legions there
to crush them, I'm sure.
