I'm not going to be able to stay in my hole.
I've now consulted a number of other dictionaries and it seems that
"peccavi" *is* recognised as a noun, meaning "a confession of sin", whatever
its original Latin meaning may have been (my mentioning it could have
alerted you to the possibility that I knew about the original meaning).
Presumably the name was applied to that type of confession because "peccavi"
would have been its first word. I suppose it's a bit like when people talk
about a "Te Deum" or a "Magnificat".
Hmm, this is a great way to deflect attention from my original error! I'm
learning from the politicians...
