Latin for "round of drinks"

[Wicketkeeper]

Hi folks - my cricket team desperately needs to have the Latin for "it's Duane's round" embroidered on our shirts. Any ideas? "Orbis Duanei est" looks feasible, but maybe there's a colloquialism for "round of drinks" that we don't know about?...

I someone explains me (in French ! ) what does exactly signify "round" here (I think I have understood, but I am note sure, since my English is so... deficient ), I could perhaps help out with it...

For that we know, Aliciane and I self, there is no way to say "round of drink" (in frenchy : une tournée ) with a substantive in latin ; "orbis" could not be used here. Except for, perhaps, the word "propinatio" (in Seneca), but this one does most particularly mean "a drinkers' challenge" (in froggy : un défi de buveurs, une beuverie).

However, you could use the verb "propinare", which means at once "to suggest people to have a drink" and "to pay the drink".

Therefore, you can say :

Duanus hoc propinavit !
= Duane has propouned and payed that drink !

Duanus ipse propinavit !
= Duane himself has payed etc. !

Nunc Duanus propinat !
= and now, Duane pays etc. the drink !

Nunc Duanus propinet !
= and now, let Duane pay etc. the drink !

Nunc Duanus propinandus !
= and now, Duane is to pay etc. the drink !

Etc.

I Hope I was Heplfull...
