dragonsgift:Day of WrathIf this is "day of wrath" as in the Latin "dies irae", then it should be "kolero" and not "kolerego". Latin doesn't distinguish; "ira" can mean both simple "anger" and "wrath".
How would you translate this into Esperanto?
I can't find a word for wrath.

When I think of the word "wrath", I think of it as something more terrifying, something more intense than that the word "anger" suggests. So, I opted for the word "kolerego" because indeed, the meaning is more intense than that of "kolero".
