Digging into "She said goodbye too many times before" versus "She said goodbye too many times", the "before" in the first implies that She is saying goodbye now.
I'm not sure if the Latin translation as it is captures that, or if you'd go for something more like "valedīxisse nimium valedīxit", "she said goodbye having said goodbye too much"; I kind of like that because then you're saying goodbye twice in the same line.
- alcover 3y ago> She is saying goodbye now. Exactly (or at the time). Many submissions here attain shortness by eliding this important precision.
