1. I admit that \\\"Libelli Picti,\\\" \\\"Televisio Viva,\\\" \\\"Ludi Electronici,\\\" \\\"Libelli Picti De Interrete,\\\" \\\"Opera De Interrete,\\\" and both variants of \\\"Picturae Animantes\\\" are my own invention, though \\\"interrete\\\" is apparently a legitimate term. (On a related note: Yes, \\\"Ludi Electronici\\\" is a bastardized half-Latin, half-Greek term. Then again, so is the word \\\"television\\\" itself, and it\\\'s been around for quite a while. Plus \\\"electronica\\\" (fem. form) has been in use for quite some time already, although in a slightly different context.)
2. \\\"Aleae\\\" literally means \\\"dice games,\\\" although the connotation is more of gambling games. If anyone thinks that \\\"Ludi In Mensa\\\" (lit. \\\"games on a table\\\") is a better fit, go for it.
3. \\\"Cantus\\\" is a fourth declension noun. This means that both the nom. singular and plural end in \\\"-us,\\\" although the plural is a long vowel (but I was too lazy to use the characters with diacritics). Just wanted to note that.
4. \\\"Manga\\\" is close enough to a first declension noun to be left alone (aside from the declension). The Romans would probably have borrowed it outright, plus it\\\'s on the Latin Wikipedia.
5. Unless otherwise mentioned beforehand, all terms are either from the Latin Wikipedia or (particularly the case of \\\"Litterae\\\") a legitimately existing classical term. Other references I\\\'ve used include [[http://www.latin-dictionary.net/ the LATDict Online Latin Dictionary]].
