Valerius, you don't want a Latin word for this "karma" thing. Because it's not a very Roman phenomenon, but a very very Greek one (dang democrat hippies, the lot of 'em!). I know I'm not the first Roman to ask myself why we whupped all those phalanxes' butts back then in the roaring 600s (rather nice butts most of them now that I think about it ... agh, it's the Greek influence again - run for the Capitol Hills!). :roll:
The word isn't some word taken from the farthest provinces of Alexander's journeys where the world ends. The word is one from his homelands.
And it is Οστρακοι - simple as that.
