search for "cimex"

In Latin, as in Greek, Hebrew, etc, first seperate the stem from the 
usual pre- and postpositions, the correct for possible ablaut [vowel 
change caust by those]. "de-" is more probable than "deci-", as Latin did 
not have decimal fractions as prepositions.

I don't like that, "scripto javano" ablativus of "scriptum javanum", 
Javanes script was my choice. 

Latin does not make many ad-hoc compounds, and certainly has no incling
about inword capitalisation, it doesn't consider capitalisation at all. 

Java is a multilingual island I frequent, Java, also a seperate language
from Javascript, in javascript seems to come from a type of coffee
[mod-L. coffea] not quite apt for translation. 

"scriptum" for script is also a bit stretched.
