I need the original latin translation for the following muscles.?

Quadratus Lumborum

Biceps Brachii

Brachialis

Triceps Brachii

Flexor capri radialis

Flexor capri ulnaris

External capri radialis

External digitorum



And by "Latin" I do not mean spanish.I need the original latin translation for the following muscles.?
1. -Quadratus is an adjective for "squared" or "squareset"

-Lumborum is the genitive plural of lumbus, meaning "of the loins"



So, a rough translation is "squared [thing] of the loins"



2. -Biceps is an adjective for "two headed," "with two summits," "having two parts," or "two-fold."

-Brachii is the genitive singular of brachium, meaning "arm," "lower arm," or "forearm" in reference to the human body; "claw," "branch," or "shoot" in reference to nature; or "earthwork connecting forts"



So, a rough translation is "two headed arm"



3. -Brachialis is either from the adjective for "connected with arms" or the genitive form of the noun brachiale, meaning "bracelet" or "armlet"



4. -Same as #2, except "three headed"



5. -Flexor comes from the verb flectere, meaning "bend," "curve," or "bow"; "turn" or "curl"; or "persuade," "prevail on," or "soften"

-I thnk you mean "carpi," which comes from the verb meaning seize, gather, or consumer or erode

-radialis means ray or rod



6. Same as #5, except ulnaris means "pertaining to the forearm"



7. Same as #5, except external means outer



8. digitorum means "of the fingers/toes"
