    Eh?

    You refer to the equus pallidus (white horse) from Revelations 6:8, right? Its rider is Mors, the Roman God of Death who was the son of Nox, the Goddess of Night.

    Veho = I bring, I carry
    Nex, necis = death

    If you wanted to say 'I carry death' in Latin, it would have to be 'veho necem', or rather 'necem veho' which would be syntactically more correct. But it wouldn't mean anything since the Latin equivalent of the modern day expression 'putting to death' is 'ad necem dare' (literally 'deliver unto death').

    In other words, in Latin 'Veho Nex' means, well, nothing at all.

    Whassup with your name bro?
