Stephanus ‧ ‧ From Ancient Greek Στέφανος (Stéphanos), "crown" ‧ ‧ From στέφανος (stéphanos, “crown”). ‧ ‧ From στέφω (stéphō, “I encircle”). ‧ ‧ From Proto-Indo-European *stegʷʰ- ‧ to enlace
(Classical) IPA(key): /ˈste.pʰa.nus/, [ˈstɛ.pʰa.nʊs]
(Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈste.fa.nus/, [ˈsteː.fa.nus]
The vowel lengths seem to be incorrectly pronounced. The recording says "non" instead of "nōn".

Stephanus non est pater meus / vir felix... and so many real life possible phrases instead!!
they have Stephanus non est femina im pretty sure it should be Stephanus est not femina i could be wrong though Stephanus not is a woman Stephanus is not a woman

In the modern Romance languages that I'm familiar with, the "non" universally goes right before the verb it negates, never after. English is a Germanic language that puts the "not" right after the verb or auxiliary verb.

- "non" is the Latin word, not "not" 2. before the verb is a much more natural location for "non" in Latin.
