🏛️ Latina reference data

Fully supported — read, tap-to-define, mine vocabulary, and practice frequency-banded cloze in Latin. Dictionaries mark vowel length; running text almost never does, so amāre and amare are one key, and typed practice accepts the unmarked form. Lookups also try the u/v and i/j spellings editions mix (uult finds vult). Frequency ranks come from the Dickinson College Commentaries Latin Core Vocabulary. No synthesized audio on principle: classical and ecclesiastical pronunciation are disputed, so the speaker stays silent rather than guessing.
