Raina says : citation :
Nosferatu Means absolutely Nothing in Romanian, nor in latin... Bram Stroker should have been grammar nazi'd for not using some correct words like 'necuratu' (=the Unclean), 'nesuferitu' = 'the insufferable/repugnant' or 'nefartatu' = the devil/unbrotherly/without human feelings. So, yes, he invented the word and made it sound romanian with 'ne-' prefix and '-tu' suffix |
