Thanks, Raymond, for the interesting explanation. Lingua mirabilis!

Here is the translation in detail (from http://archives.nd.edu/latgramm.htm):
robur -oris n. [hard wood]; esp. [oak , oak wood]; [a dungeon in Rome, also called the Tullianum]; as a quality, [hardness, strength]; in gen. [the pick, flower] of anything.

Sincerely

Jan
