I've heard of plautus and his original work started along the lines of "lupus est homo homini, no homo, etc." And then i saw that it was shortened to this kinda. I was just curious if there are any latin majors out there that can shed light on a couple of things like:
Ive seen it used without the est?
Wouldnt a better shortening be homini homo lupus est?
Homo homini lupus est?

"Est" means "is," and when used like a slogan, it is perfectly fine without the "est." But it is not a complete sentence, so is not good in context of the whole writing.I think, the way Latin is constructed, it has more drama as "Homo homini lupus est"
The sudden change from 2 "man" words to the "wolf" word. It is almost like a predator's ambush.
