    "Se" acts as a reflexive pronoun here, right? As in the translation is literally something along the lines of "Stephanus has himself well"?

    Considering its descendents (spanish, french, etc) have reflexive case, so does latin

      Yes—one of the glosses for “me habeo” is “to feel, be” (well, etc.)

      Shouldn't the ph be pronounced like an aspirated p instead of f in classical Latin?

      Yes. Ph is pronounced the way it is in "uphill."

        "Stephen is well" should be accepted.

        there is a comment regarding this in the lesson notes - all of the names of people should stay the same and NOT be translated to their modern-day/English counterparts
