pos: Flattened rice Flattened rice Flattened rice, commonly known as chura, is rice which is flattened into flat, light, dry flakes originating from the Indian subcontinent. These flakes of rice swell when added to liquid, whether hot or cold, as they absorb water, milk or any other liquids. The thickness of the flakes varies between almost translucently thin (the more expensive varieties) to nearly four times thinner than a normal rice grain. It is also called "beaten rice", not to be confused with "poha", a Central-West Indian dish prepared using flattened rice as the key ingredient. In particular, Indori poha is famous in

pos: Upma sweet dish of Karnataka, kesari bhath (ಕೇಸರಿ ಬಾತ್), with a scoop of each on one plate, in a presentation commonly called "chow chow bath". In Andhra Pradesh, upma made with flattened rice in place of semolina is called atukulu upma (అటుకులు ఉప్మా). This variant is also known as aval upma in the Chennai region when made with rice flakes similar to poha. A popular light evening snack is upma made with vermicelli and tomato, peas and carrot. In most parts of Odisha, a popular breakfast consists of sooji upma served with ghugni. Upma Upma, uppumavu or uppittu is a dish

neg: Sudama meet Krishna. He carried a very humble gift to be presented to Lord Krishna. What did he carry? Some books say he carried pohe (beaten rice), while some books and movies say he carried sattu powder (peeth). This confusing difference is because Sudama carried neither sattu nor pohe. He carried with him a combination of sattu and pohe called "sattu-peeth pohe" or Atukulu in Telugu. It is an exclusive prominence of Samvadi Lad Brahmins to which Sudama belonged. That Sudama was a Samvadi Lad Brahmin is more or less widely accepted; whether his home town was Bhurgakacha (Bhadoch) or Porbandar

English has thousands of idioms, most of which are informal. English-language idioms An idiom is a common word or phrase with a culturally understood meaning that differs from what its composite words' denotations would suggest.

This easily digestible form of raw rice is very popular across India, Nepal and Bangladesh, and is normally used to prepare snacks or light and easy fast food in a variety of Indian cuisine styles, some even for long-term consumption of a week or more. It is known by a variety of names: "avalakki" (ಅವಲಕ್ಕಿ) in Kannada, "pauaa/paunva" (પૌંઆ) in Gujarati, "poya" in Rajasthani, "chuda" in Odia (ଚୁଡା), "atukulu" in Telugu (అటుకులు), "aval" in Tamil (அவல்) and "Aval" in Malayalam (അവൽ), "chiura" in parts of Bihar and Jharkhand, "sira" in Assamese (চিৰা) and Sylheti (ꠌꠤꠠꠣ),

While Swedish and English share many words, both from their Germanic origins, and from later French and Latin influence, there are several Swedish-English false friends, such as "nacke" meaning ’nape, back of the neck’ (similar to English "neck"), and "eventuellt" meaning ’possibly’ (similar to "eventually"). Some loanwords have a more specific meaning in Swedish than the original English, such as "keyboard" meaning only ’electronic keyboard, synthesizer’. Compare the list of .

neg: England The earliest recorded use of the term, as "Engla londe", is in the late-ninth-century translation into Old English of Bede's "Ecclesiastical History of the English People". The term was then used in a different sense to the modern one, meaning "the land inhabited by the English", and it included English people in what is now south-east Scotland but was then part of the English kingdom of Northumbria. The "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" recorded that the Domesday Book of 1086 covered the whole of England, meaning the English kingdom, but a few years later the "Chronicle" stated that King Malcolm III went "out

Compare: The pleonastic (), expressing uncertainty in formal French, works as follows: Two more striking examples of French pleonastic construction are the word translated as 'today', but originally meaning "on the day of today", and the phrase meaning 'What's that?' or 'What is it?', while literally it means "What is it that it is?". There are examples of the pleonastic, or dummy, negative in English, such as the construction, heard in the New England region of the United States, in which the phrase "So don't I" is intended to have the same positive meaning as "So do

neg: Phrasal verb difficult to learn for non-native speakers of English is that their meaning is non-compositional. That is, one cannot know what a given phrasal verb construction means based upon what the verb alone and/or the preposition and/or particle alone mean, as emphasized above. This trait of phrasal verbs is also what makes them interesting for linguists, since they appear to defy the principle of compositionality. An analysis of phrasal verbs in terms of catenae (=chains), however, is not challenged by the apparent lack of meaning compositionality. The verb and particle/preposition form a catena, and as such, they qualify as a concrete

""Gitu"" is an abbreviated form of the Indonesian word ""begitu"" meaning "like that/ such as", while ""loh"" (also spelt "lho") is a particle commonly used in slang or conversational Indonesian to show surprise or instigate a warning. In these cases of combined, interlingual phrases, the original spelling (and quite often the pronunciation) of the foreign word(s) are retained. Hence, the English component of the Indonesian slang phrase ""so what gitu loh!"" remains relatively unchanged as far as spelling and pronunciation are

neg: Pemberton, Greater Manchester Pemberton became a densely populated industrial district comprising a variety of coal mines, stone-quarries, brick manufactories, and cotton mills. Coal mining was the principal industry of what was described in 1911 as an "unpicturesque, bare and open" area. The former Pemberton Urban District was amalgamated into the County Borough of Wigan in 1904. The name Pemberton derives from "Penn-bere-tūn", which is believed to be a combination of the Celtic "penn" meaning hill, the Old English "bere" meaning barley plus the Old English suffix of "-ton" meaning a farm or settlement. Unmentioned in the "Domesday Book" of 1086, Pemberton does not

The original use of "meaning" as understood early in the 20th century occurred through Lady Welby, after her daughter translated the term "semantics" from French. Languages allow information to be conveyed even when the specific words used are not known by the reader or listener. People connect words with meaning and use words to refer to concepts. A person's intentions affect what is meant. "Meaning" (in English) as "intent" harkens back to the Anglo-Saxons and is associated today still, with the German verb "meinen" as

neg: Hilary Putnam its lakes, rivers and oceans are filled with XYZ whereas those of earth are filled with HO. Consequently, when an earthling, Fredrick, uses the Earth-English word "water", it has a different meaning from the Twin Earth-English word "water" when used by his physically identical twin, Frodrick, on Twin Earth. Since Fredrick and Frodrick are physically indistinguishable when they utter their respective words, and since their words have different meanings, meaning cannot be determined solely by what is in their heads. This led Putnam to adopt a version of semantic externalism with regard to meaning and mental content. The late philosopher

First published in fragmentary form in 1845, the work is a collection of short essays in psychological fantasy — what De Quincey himself called "impassioned prose," and what is now termed prose poetry. The essays of the "Suspiria" "are among the finest examples of De Quincey's or anyone else's English style." "Some critics consider De Quincey's "Suspiria de Profundis" the supreme prose fantasy of English literature." De Quincey conceived

neg: Tetragrammaton or more hyphens, a practice applied also to the English name "God", which Jews commonly write as "G-d". Most Jewish authorities say that this practice is not obligatory for the English name. Kabbalistic tradition holds that the correct pronunciation is known to a select few people in each generation, it is not generally known what this pronunciation is. In late kabbalistic works the tetragrammaton is sometimes referred to as the name of "Havayah"—, meaning "the Name of Being/Existence". This name also helps when one needs to refer specifically to the written Name; similarly, "Shem Adonoot", meaning "the Name of Lordship"

An alternative is from the Dutch "Tiene Neck" meaning "neck where there are willows" (from the Dutch "tene" meaning willow). The earliest uses of the word "Teaneck" were in reference to a series of Lenni Lenape Native American camps near the ridge formed by what became Queen Anne Road.

It appears increasingly clear that the courts may adduce evidence of negotiations where it would clearly assist in construing the meaning of an agreement. This

Henry Watson Fowler, in "The King's English", says, "any definition of irony—though hundreds might be given, and very few of them would be accepted—must include this, that the surface meaning and the underlying meaning of what is said are not the same." Also, Eric Partridge, in "Usage and Abusage", writes that "Irony consists in stating the contrary of what is meant." The use of irony may require the concept of a "double audience".

Use of Dunum in placenames may indicate a Belgic origin for some of the tribes of Ireland. It was the name of the chief town of the Cauci, an early Irish tribe documented by Ptolemy in the second century, who may have been Belgic, and were related to the Chauci from what is now northern Germany.

As time went on, "translatio" was designated to only mean transmission and "traductio" took on the meaning of what we know as translation. This carried over to the developing Romance languages as time went on. The words "translation" in French and "traslazione" in Italian mean the displacement of physical objects, and these languages still use other words to mean "translation" in the English sense. This varies remarkably from the common meaning used in English, which is solely a

Lord Hoffmann restated the law that a document's meaning is what it would mean (1) to a reasonable person (2) with knowledge of the context,

The suffix "-tanga" is very similar in meaning and use to the English suffix "-ship", for example "rangatiratanga" (chieftainship) and "kīngitanga" (kingship). So a literal translation of the word would be "governorship". From an idiomatic perspective, this word had little meaning to the chiefs signing the treaty, since the concept of being governed by an overseeing authority was alien to Māori. What understanding Maori may have had of the term was derived principally from the Bible and

It is currently a length of raised pavement between St Crux church hall and a small road junction. First recorded in 1505 as "Whitnourwhatnourgate", literally "Neither whit nor what street" (with archaic English "gate", meaning street), the name could mean either "Nothing at all" or "Neither one thing nor the other"; though a plaque at the site gives the meaning "What a street!"

neg: Ethics English word "ethics" is derived from the Ancient Greek word "ēthikós" (), meaning "relating to one's character", which itself comes from the root word "êthos" () meaning "character, moral nature". This was borrowed into Latin as "ethica" and then into French as "éthique", from which it was borrowed into English. Rushworth Kidder states that "standard definitions of "ethics" have typically included such phrases as 'the science of the ideal human character' or 'the science of moral duty'. Richard William Paul and Linda Elder define ethics as "a set of concepts and principles that guide us in determining what behavior helps

Examples of phrasal verbs are "to get up", "to ask out", "to back up", "to give up", "to get together", "to hang out", "to put up with", etc. The phrasal verb frequently has a highly idiomatic meaning that is more specialised and restricted than what can be simply extrapolated from the combination of verb and preposition complement (e.g. "lay off" meaning "terminate someone's employment"). In spite of the idiomatic meaning, some grammarians, including , do not consider this type of construction to form

Additionally, it is free of clichés and needless technical jargon, and should be appropriate to the audience's developmental or educational level and their familiarity with the topic. The term is commonly used when discussing government or business communication. The term derives from the 16th-century idiom "in plain English", meaning "in clear, straightforward language".

However, the ecclesiastical parish still exists; it encompasses Hurn, East Parley and Bournemouth International Airport, as well as the Townsend and adjacent areas of Bournemouth. Holdenhurst is recorded in the Domesday Book as "Holeest" suggesting an etymology of Old English "holegn" meaning "holly "and "hyrst" meaning "grove, wood", giving a meaning of "wood where holly ("Ilex aquifolium") grows. In succeeding centuries it was spelt Holeherst (12th century), Holhurst (13th century), Hollehurst

People with higher education, past experience of living in English-speaking countries, or who constantly interact with Hong Kong's English-speaking expatriate communities, generally speak an acquired form of English. Accent and spelling preference may vary from person to person, depending on the people they have interacted with and the country they have studied in.

It is not clear where the term "prawn" originated, but early forms of the word surfaced in England in the early 15th century as "prayne, praine" and "prane". According to the linguist Anatoly Liberman it is unclear how "shrimp", in English, came to be associated with "small". "No Germanic language associates the shrimp with its size... The same holds for Romance... it remains unclear in what circumstances the name was applied to

neg: English prefix particular lexical categories (or "parts of speech"). For example, the prefix "re-" meaning "again, back" is only added to verb bases as in "rebuild", "reclaim", "reuse", "resell", "re-evaluate", "resettle". It cannot be added to bases of other lexical categories. Thus, examples of "re-" plus a noun base (such as the ungrammatical "*rehusband", "*remonopoly") or "re-" plus an adjective base ("*renatural", "*rewise") are virtually unattested. These selectional restrictions on what base a prefix can be attached to can be used to distinguish between otherwise identical-sounding prefixes. For instance, there are two different "un-" prefixes in English: one meaning "not, opposite of",

Valency refers to how many and what kinds of arguments a predicate licenses—i.e. what argument(s) the predicate selects grammatically. Avalent verbs are verbs which have no valency, meaning that they have no logical arguments, such as subject or object. Languages known as pro-drop or null-subject languages do not require clauses to have an overt subject when the subject is easily inferred, meaning that a verb can appear alone. However, non-null-subject languages such as English require a pronounced subject in order for a sentence to be

Currently, the average deaf or hard-of-hearing student graduating from high school reads at approximately the third- or fourth-grade level. SEE-II has been used in hopes of promoting reading skills in deaf students. Children who grew up on SEE-II are now

neg: Language interpretation 'interpreter'. Expressions in Germanic, Scandinavian and Slavic languages denoting an interpreter can be traced back to Akkadian, around 1900 BCE. The Akkadian root "targumânu"/"turgumânu" also gave rise to the term dragoman via an etymological sideline from Arabic. The English word ‘interpreter’, however, is derived from Latin "interpres" (meaning ‘expounder’, ‘person explaining what is obscure’), whose semantic roots are not clear. Some scholars take the second part of the word to be derived from "partes" or "pretium" (meaning ‘price’, which fits the meaning of a ‘middleman’, ‘intermediary’ or ‘commercial go-between’), but others have suggested a Sanskrit root. In consecutive interpreting (CI),

neg: Non-finite clause examples of such constructions in English, see English passive voice and . As a dependent clause, a non-finite clause plays some kind of grammatical role within a larger clause that contains it. What this role can be, and what the consequent meaning is, depends on the type of non-finite verb involved, the constructions allowed by the grammar of the language in question, and the meanings of those constructions in that language. Some examples are noted below: According to Priscian, "delenda" is a participle because it agrees in number, case, and gender with a noun, namely "Carthago", the subject. In Priscian's

neg: Generic antecedent the pronouns as generic and hence gender-unspecific. Ambiguity arises from the possibility that the listener might interpret the meaning differently from what the speaker intended. Speakers of all languages use words "both" to make distinctions "and" to generalize: What has become controversial among users of English is the choice of pronoun to refer back to a generalized, and hence generic, singular antecedent such as "any parent", or "every parent". In contrast, since plural generic antecedents such as "parents" must be referred to by the plural pronoun "they", and since in English "they" is gender-unspecific, no controversy arises for a plural

neg: Proactivity (or "pro-active") was limited to the domain of experimental psychology in the 1930s, and used with a different meaning. "Oxford English Dictionary" (OED) credits Paul Whiteley and Gerald Blankfort, citing their 1933 paper discussing proactive inhibition as the "impairment or retardation of learning or of the remembering of what is learned by effects that remain active from conditions prior to the learning". In another related meaning, the 1946 book "Man's Search for Meaning" brought the word to the wider public domain. The author, Austrian existential neuropsychiatrist Dr. Viktor Frankl, used the word to describe a person who took responsibility for

The most common definitely pleonastic morphological usage in English is "irregardless", which is very widely criticized as being a non-word. The standard usage is "regardless", which is already negative; adding the additional negative "ir-" is interpreted by some as logically reversing the meaning to "with regard to/for", which is certainly not what the speaker intended to convey. (According to most dictionaries that include it, "irregardless" appears to derive from confusion between "regardless" and "irrespective", which have overlapping meanings.) There are several

neg: English clause syntax when used to indicate habitual aspect, can often be replaced by a compound construction: English does not have a dedicated future tense in the sense of a morphological form that always indicates what the speaker views as facts about the future. "Shall" can be used in place of "will": see the article Shall and Will for a discussion of the two auxiliary verbs used to form the simple future in English. "Will" and "would" can be used with a different meaning to futurity or conditionality: The "will" construction can be used to indicate what the speaker views as facts about

neg: Dialogic education that forms of cultural imperialism may be encouraged through the implementation of a dialogic approach. There is a lack of clarity around what is meant by the term ‘dialogic’ when used to refer to educational approaches. The term ‘dialogue’ itself is derived from two words in classical Greek, ‘dia’ meaning ‘through’ and ‘logos’ meaning ‘word’ or 'discourse'. Dialogic is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as an adjective applied to describe anything ‘relating to or in the form of dialogue’. Dialogic can also be used in contrast to ‘monologic’, which is the idea that there is only one true perspective

neg: Mestizo French, sometimes Scottish or English) involved in the fur trade and North American Indigenous peoples of what is now Western Canada. In Saint Barthélemy, the term mestizo refers to people of mixed European (usually French) and East Asian ancestry. The Spanish word is from Latin "mixticius", meaning mixed. Its usage has been documented as early as 1275, to refer to the offspring of an Egyptian and a Semite. This term was first documented in English in 1582. In the United States, Canada and other English-speaking countries and cultures, mestizo, as a loanword from Spanish, is used to mean a non-white

neg: Werowocomoco Werowocomoco Werowocomoco was a village that served as the headquarters of the Powhatan, a Virginia Algonquian political and spiritual leader when the English founded Jamestown in 1607. The name "Werowocomoco" comes from the Powhatan "werowans" ("weroance"), meaning "leader" in English; and "komakah" (-comoco), "settlement". The town was documented by English settlers in 1608 as located near the north bank of the York River in what is now Gloucester County. It was separated by that river and the narrow Virginia Peninsula from the English settlement of Jamestown, located on the James River. Powhatan's Chimney at Wicomico, a site of historical ruins

neg: Anglesey Abbey Amazon (£10.99). The name "Anglesey" is not a reference to the Welsh island known as Anglesey in English, although the two names do have some etymology in common. Anglesey Priory was built on what was, before improvements in the drainage of the area, an island. In both place names, as in many other place names in Britain, the final "-ey" is from a Germanic word meaning 'isle'. In the case of the Welsh island, "Angle-" is from an Old Norse word "ǫngull", which is either a personal name, or a word meaning 'angle' or 'corner'. In the case of the

neg: County Donegal Tír Chonaill, a Gaelic kingdom in West Ulster that covered almost all of modern County Donegal. The head of the O'Donnell family had the titles "An Ó Domhnaill" (meaning "The O'Donnell" in English) and "Rí Thír Chonaill" (meaning "King of Tír Chonaill" in English). Based at Donegal Castle in "Dún na nGall" (modern Donegal), the O'Donnell "Kings of Tír Chonaill" were traditionally inaugurated at Doon Rock near Kilmacrennan. O'Donnell royal or chiefly power was finally ended in what was then the newly created County Donegal in September 1607, following the Flight of the Earls from near Rathmullan. The modern "County

neg: Comparison between Lojban and Loglan advantage compared to Loglan in applying the language to practical uses. There are also many differences in the terminology used in English to talk about the two languages. In his writings, Brown used many terms based on English, Latin and Greek, some of which were already established with a slightly different meaning. On the other hand, the Lojban camp freely borrowed grammatical terms from Lojban itself. For example, what linguists call "roots" or "root words", Loglanists call "primitives" or "prims", and Lojbanists call '. The "lexeme" of Loglan and ' of Lojban have nothing to do with the linguistic meaning

neg: Consciousness of what he is doing when he speaks English. Another way of putting the argument is to say that computer programs can pass the Turing test for processing the syntax of a language, but that the syntax cannot lead to semantic meaning in the way strong AI advocates hoped. In the literature concerning artificial intelligence, Searle's essay has been second only to Turing's in the volume of debate it has generated. Searle himself was vague about what extra ingredients it would take to make a machine conscious: all he proposed was that what was needed was "causal powers" of the

neg: English contract law the courts to construe evidence of what the parties said before a contract's conclusion, and construe the terms agreed. Construction of the contract starts with the express promises people make to one another, but also with terms found in other documents or notices that were intended to be incorporated. The general rule is that reasonable notice of the term is needed, and more notice is needed for an onerous term. The meaning of those terms must then be interpreted, and the modern approach is to construe the meaning of an agreement from the perspective of a reasonable person with knowledge

neg: Paul Ziff went on to determine what the word 'good' means in English: viz., "answering to certain interests". And then all the way to "an informal introduction to and sketch of a rigorous semantic theory" that would be adequate for "determining a method and a means of evaluating and choosing between competing analyses of words and utterances". In short, for confirming claims that a word had this meaning or that, like the word 'good'. This "sketch" did not strike everyone as all that informal since he ends up at a set of conditions under which a morphological element has meaning in English,

neg: Semasiology expression). However, semasiology is also sometimes considered part of lexical semantics, a narrow subfield of lexicology (the study of words) and semantics. The term was first used in German by Christian Karl Reisig in 1825 in his work, ["Lectures on Latin Linguistics"] (), and was used in English by 1847. Semantics replaced it in its original meaning, beginning in 1893. Semasiology Semasiology (from , "", "signification") is a discipline of linguistics concerned with the question "what does the word "X" mean?". It studies the meaning of words regardless how they are pronounced. It is the opposite of onomasiology, a branch

neg: Shall and will Shall and will Shall and will are two of the English modal verbs. They have various uses, including the expression of propositions about the future, in what is usually referred to as the future tense of English. The traditional prescriptive grammar rule stated that, when expressing pure futurity (without any additional meaning such as desire or command), "shall" was to be used when the subject was in the first person ("I" or "we"), and "will" in other cases. In practice this rule is commonly not adhered to by any group of English speakers, and many speakers do not differentiate between

neg: Staten Island one of the Algonquian languages, Staten Island was called "Aquehonga Manacknong", meaning "as far as the place of the bad woods", or "Eghquhous", meaning "the bad woods". The area was part of the Lenape homeland known as Lenapehoking. The Lenape were later called the "Delaware" by the English colonists because they inhabited both shores of what the English named the Delaware River. The island was laced with Native American foot trails, one of which followed the south side of the ridge near the course of present-day Richmond Road and Amboy Road. The Lenape did not live in fixed encampments but

neg: Weir Weir A weir or low head dam is a barrier across the horizontal width of a river that alters the flow characteristics of water and usually results in a change in the height of the river level. There are many designs of weir, but commonly water flows freely over the top of the weir crest before cascading down to a lower level. There is no single definition as to what constitutes a weir and one English dictionary simply defines a weir as a small dam, likely originating from Middle English "were", Old English "wer", derivative of root of "werian," meaning

neg: Samatva Samatva Samatva (Sanskrit: समत्व, also rendered "samatvam" or "samata") is the Hindu concept of equanimity. Its root is "sama" (सम) meaning – equal or even."Sāmya" - meaning equal consideration towards all human beings - is a variant of the word. "Samatva" occupies a high place in the "Bhagavad Gita" where it means even-mindedness or what would be called in English "equanimity". Krishna in the context of metaphysical knowledge refers to equanimity when he tells Arjuna that all feelings are transitory and fleeting, तांस्तितिक्षस्व therefore ignore them for they have to be endured (II.14) and that the wise are न व्यथयन्ति

neg: Colegio Arji on October 17, a day devoted to school pride. Originally, admissions to the school were highly selective as one of the application requirements for prospective students was a personal recommendation from a member of the Arji community. This requirement was later annulled and replaced with mandatory subjects, English, and psychometric tests. The school is divided into 4 levels: Jardin de Niños (Kindergarten) Primaria (Elementary) Secundaria (Middle School) Bachillerato (High School) English is taught from the first year of kindergarten and upon passing of the third year, children go into what is called "Primero de Inglés" meaning "First Year of English",

neg: Bursledon primary filming venue for the 1980s BBC TV soap opera "Howards' Way". The village was known as "Brixendona" or Brixenden in the 12th century, Burstlesden in the 14th century, and "Bristelden" in the 16th century. The name probably means "Hill associated with a man called Beorhtsige", from Old English personal name meaning 'bright victory' and "dun" meaning "hill, modern down". It is unlikely the Beohrtsige is the same individual who gave his name to Brixton in South London. The original bridge carrying what is now the A27 road across the River Hamble was made of wood in 1783, and was

neg: Kymber Kymber This is for the given name Kymber Kymber (Is always spelled as Kymber, never Kimberley), originally used as an English surname, is both a male and female given name. It is of Old English origin, and its meaning is "Cyneburg's field" and is commonly used as a place name and also a surname. Other proposed origins include "forest" and "from the meadow/fortress." The Old English meaning is 'the wood of Cynemaer' and the Modern English meaning is 'diamond'. Kymber is interesting both historically and eytmologically. It comes from the Old English words 'cyne' meaning royal and 'maer' meaning fame,

neg: Wishaw Alternatively, it may be from the Old English for "Willow Wood". Others believe the name was originally "Viashaw", meaning way or road through the wood. Yet another theory is that the name derives from "Wee Shaw", meaning small wood. Wishaw is not one of Scotland's medieval towns, but a settlement in the area dates back to the 12th century when St. Nethan established a kirk dedicated to St. Michael by a bend (Gaelic "camus") in the Clyde near what is now Netherton. The area then became known as the parish of Cambusnethan, and remained so until the Reformation. The site

neg: Bogeyman them. Bogeymen may target a specific mischief—for instance, a bogeyman that punishes children who suck their thumbs—or general misbehaviour, depending on what purpose needs serving. In some cases, the bogeyman is a nickname for the Devil. Bogeyman tales vary by region. The bogeyman is usually a masculine entity, but can be of any gender, or simply be androgynous. The word "bogey" is believed to be derived from the Middle English "bogge" / "bugge" ("something frightening", "scarecrow"). Theories on its origin include a root meaning "goat", or a cognate of the German "bögge", "böggel-mann" ("goblin"). It could be influenced in meaning

neg: Scotia Scotia Scotia is a Latin placename derived from "Scoti", a Latin name for Ireland, meaning the land of the Gaels. Originally, it meant the land of the Gaels: Ireland and part of northern Britain. From the 9th century, its meaning gradually shifted, so that it came to mean only the part of Britain lying north of the Firth of Forth: the Kingdom of Alba or Scotland. By the later Middle Ages it had become the fixed Latin term for what in English is called Scotland. The Romans named Ireland "Scotia" around 500 A.D The name of "Scotland" is derived from

neg: Fiesta (Soulhead song) Fiesta (Soulhead song) "Fiesta" is a single by R&B female duo Soulhead from the album Naked. The title track is a dance track. The b-sides, "meaning" and "Soulhead is Back" (stylized as "SOULHEAD is BACK"), are R&B inspired. The single charted at No. 35 on Oricon Weekly. "Fiesta" is a song about staying out all night to have fun and dance. "meaning" sings about how money isn't everything and that living life in the moment is what life is about. "Soulhead is Back" is the theme for the duo with most of the lyrics in English. Only the final rap

neg: Participle used in analogous way to the English present perfect (for example, "ʼAnā ʼākil" انا آكل meaning "I have eaten", "I have just eaten" or "I have already eaten"). Other verbs, such as "rāḥa" راح ("to go") give a participle ("rāyiḥ" رايح), which has a progressive ("is going...") meaning. The exact tense or continuity of these participles is therefore determined by the nature of the specific verb (especially its lexical aspect and its transitivity) and the syntactic/semantic context of the utterance. What ties them all together is that they describe the subject of the verb from which they derive. The passive

neg: Franconian languages of Old High German. Moreover, Middle Franconian is not related to Middle High German. "Franconian" is an English word. Continental Europeans use the equivalent of "Frankish", from the original Latin "Franci", with the same meaning; for example, the German for Old Franconian is "alt-Fränkisch". The Dutch linguist, Jan van Vliet (1622-1666), uses "Francica" or "Francks" to mean the language of the "oude Francken" ("Old Franks"). According to van Vliet, "Francks" descended from "oud Teuts", what is today referred to in English as the Proto-Germanic language. The name "Franconian", an English adjective made into a noun, comes from the official Latin

neg: Volition (linguistics) for preposition examples on expressing causative intentions in English. There are verbs in English where its volitional meaning is encoded in the lexical semantics in a speaker's lexical entry. The intentionality of a verb like ‘promise’ is part of what speakers of English know about the word. Volition is prominent in active–stative languages with fluid-S. In a study by Matthew Rispoli, a psycholinguist, there are at least three aspects involved in the grouping transitive and intransitive verbs. They are 1) case marking, 2) theme animacy, and 3) planning, as indicated by the appropriate use of verb suffixes denoting request, desire,

neg: Natura naturans Natura naturans Natura naturans is a Latin tag coined during the Middle Ages, meaning "Nature naturing", or more loosely, "nature doing what nature does". The Latin, "naturans", is the present active participle of "naturo", indicated by the suffix ""-ans"" which is akin to the English suffix ""-ing"". "Naturata" is the perfect passive participle. These terms are most commonly associated with the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza. For Spinoza, "natura naturans" refers to the self-causing activity of nature, while "natura naturata", meaning "nature natured", refers to nature considered as a passive product of an infinite causal chain. Samuel Taylor Coleridge defined it

neg: Natura naturans neither be nor be conceived without God. To Spinoza, Nature and God were the same (see "Deus sive Natura"). Natura naturans Natura naturans is a Latin tag coined during the Middle Ages, meaning "Nature naturing", or more loosely, "nature doing what nature does". The Latin, "naturans", is the present active participle of "naturo", indicated by the suffix ""-ans"" which is akin to the English suffix ""-ing"". "Naturata" is the perfect passive participle. These terms are most commonly associated with the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza. For Spinoza, "natura naturans" refers to the self-causing activity of nature, while "natura naturata", meaning "nature

neg: Meaning (philosophy of language) semantic meaning, elaborating on the work of ordinary language philosophers Paul Grice and Keith Donnellan. The speaker's meaning is what the speaker intends to refer to by saying something; the semantic meaning is what the words uttered by the speaker mean according to the language. In some cases, people do not say what they mean; in other cases, they say something that is in error. In both these cases, the speaker's meaning and the semantic meaning seem to be different. Sometimes words do not actually express what the speaker wants them to express; so words will mean one thing, and

What You Got (Colby O'Donis song) "What You Got" is the debut single from Colby O'Donis' debut album, titled "Colby O". The song features Akon, who also wrote and produced the track with Giorgio Tuinfort. A Spanish version of the song was leaked on the Internet titled "¿Cuánto Quieres?", meaning "How Much You Want?", however, Akon's verse is still in English.

neg: Music of Finland such as mentioned above. Suomirock is a word that literally means Finnish rock music. However, its true meaning is a more specific one, meaning rock/pop music with Finnish lyrics. As a genre and a name it really started its life in the 1980s following the punk movement. It means rock/pop music, that is not only imitating international trends or otherwise having international sound and English lyrics, but a form of rock-music, that is recognizably Finnish and have Finnish lyrics. A more and more general and recent term is "suomipop". The boundaries between what is considered "rock" and "pop" have become

neg: Chivalry rituals that make him what he is". In English, the term appears from 1292 (note that "cavalry" is from the Italian form of the same word). The meaning of the term evolved over time because the word "chevalier" was used differently in the Middle Ages, from the original concrete military meaning "status or fee associated with a military follower owning a war horse" or "a group of mounted knights" to the ideal of the Christian warrior ethos propagated in the romance genre, which was becoming popular during the 12th century, and the ideal of courtly love propagated in the contemporary

Yet another story, told by drunken natives of Osage descent, is that after a tornado struck the settlement in its early years, while trying to describe to white settlers what had happened in broken English, natives used the phrase "sky-a-took". Literally meaning, the sky had taken the settlement. This story is at least four generations old – and in native tradition – handed down by word of mouth. The first deed in town was granted to the Skiatook Bank,

The concept of “Neurophysiologic shapings”, which is fundamental to his work, is a wordplay, in which the meaning of the Romanian word ne-ura (English: no-anger) is blended with the meaning of the medical concept of neurophysiology. What we are dealing with here is a physiology of “no-anger” projected in the field of meta-artistic expression. Lascăr proposes a new type of meta-visual human expression, placed beyond art, above visual, an existential adventure of individual and social shapings based on the report between spiritual, corporal and obiectual in the field of the most symbolic personal

neg: Glosa the tense, number, gender, formality, or etc. of the nouns that they modify. They generally precede the word that they modify. Sometimes an adjective's place determines its meaning: To create "opposites", one just places ""no-"" as a prefix to the adjective. This usage is similar to that of the prefix ""mal-"" in Esperanto which gives the word the exact opposite meaning. So the Glosa usage below means "not beautiful". It is the equivalent of some of the uses on in- or un- in English Words used to ask or answer a question of who, where, what, when, why, how or

neg: Killendoon, New South Wales Readford and William Lawson, the son of explorer William Lawson who was a member of the first European party to breach the Blue Mountains in 1813. Some say the name derives from a local Aboriginal word, meaning "strong" or "substantial". Another theory is that it represents the adoption of a contemporary English term, "warren", meaning a game park - perhaps a reference to the picturesque riverside setting where the station hut was built (on what is now Macquarie Park) and to the large numbers of wildlife in the area. A post office opened in 1861, a bootmaker's shop (made of

"See also: Existential Therapy and Irvin Yalom" Logical positivists ask: "What is the meaning of life?", "What is the meaning in asking?" and "If there are no objective values, then, is life meaningless?" Ludwig Wittgenstein and the logical positivists said: "Expressed in language, the question is meaningless"; because, "in" life the statement the "meaning of x", usually denotes the "consequences" of x, or the "significance" of x, or "what is notable" about x, etc., thus, when the meaning of life concept equals "x", in the statement

neg: Compound (linguistics) shop. Tłįchǫ Yatiì/Dogrib: In Germanic languages (including English), compounds are formed by prepending what is effectively a namespace (disambiguation context) to the main word. For example, "football" would be a "ball" in the "foot" context. In itself, this does not alter the meaning of the main word. The added context only makes it more precise. As such, a "football" must be understood as a "ball". However, as is the case with "football", a well established compound word may have gained a special meaning in the language's vocabulary. Only this defines "football" as a particular type of ball (unambiguously the round

neg: Assemblage (philosophy) sense, originally stems from the French word "agencement", whose meaning translates narrowly to English as "arrangement", "fitting, or "fixing". "Agencement" asserts the inherent implication of the connection between specific concepts and that the arrangement of those concepts is what provides sense or meaning. Assemblage, on the other hand, can be more accurately described as the integration and connection of these concepts and that it is both the connections "and" the arrangements of those connections that provide context for assigned meanings. John Phillips argued in 2006 that Deleuze and Guattari rarely used the term assemblage at all in a philosophical sense,

In what may be an early reference to the sport, a 1533 poem attributed to John Skelton describes Flemish weavers as "kings of crekettes", a word of apparent Middle Dutch origin. In Samuel Johnson's "Dictionary of the English Language" (1755), he derived cricket from ""cryce", Saxon, a stick". In Old French, the word "criquet" seems to

So, soy bomb is what I think art should be: dense, transformational, explosive life" according to "Entertainment Weekly" and that "he meant Soy Bomb as a 'spontaneous explosion of the self' to re-invigorate the current music scene. He has also said that the phrase is a combination of Spanish and English, meaning "the bomb of 'I am'". The Grammys chose not to press charges against Portnoy for the act, but he was not paid the $200 fee for the gig. The

These mute characters serve to clarify what the word is about, as homophonic glyphs are common. If a similar procedure existed in English, words with the same spelling would be followed by an indicator that would not be read, but which would fine-tune the meaning: "retort [chemistry]" and "retort [rhetoric]" would thus be distinguished. Here, are several examples of the use of determinatives borrowed from the book, "Je lis les hiéroglyphes" ("I

In this light, the Rede can be seen as encouraging a Wiccan to take personal responsibility for his or her actions. Wiccan Rede The Wiccan Rede is a statement that provides the key moral system in the Neopagan religion of Wicca and certain other related Witchcraft-based faiths. A common form of the Rede is "An’ ye harm none, do what ye will". The word "Rede" derives from Middle English, meaning "advice"

From 1996 to 2003, he created the acclaimed six-volume autobiographical epic "l'Ascension du Haut Mal" (meaning, literally, "The Rise of the High Evil" but published in English as "Epileptic", "haut mal" indicating what is referred to in English as a grand mal seizure).

Another theory is that "Cherokee" derives from a Lower Creek word, "Cvlakke" ("chuh-log-gee"), meaning someone who speaks another language. In the Lower dialect of , which was traditionally spoken in what is now Georgia and South Carolina, the Cherokee called their language "jaragi," as the Eastern or lower dialect had a rolling "r" sound in place of the "l" sound used in the other dialects. This pronunciation may have served as a basis for the current English language name for

Literally, "Verkehr" means intercourse and, as in English, can have either a sexual or non-sexual meaning; in addition, it is used to mean transport or traffic. The sentence can be translated as: "At that moment an unending stream of traffic crossed over the bridge". What gives added weight to the obvious double meaning of 'Verkehr' is Kafka's confession to Brod that when he wrote that final line, he was thinking
