A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Tue. 2/8/11 10:12am
trouble:
the sad thing is it didn't take me long to figure out those initials ( and i am not an initial buff). i would like to ban her from the wfmu environs, but that would just be acknowledging her and i would like not to do that. sort of like i have avoided learning the name of the arizona crazy killerman, i don't want to give him presence. | |
|
Tue. 2/8/11 10:13am
trouble:
dave i was just talking about "ET". i must be the last adult born pre 1980 to see it for the first time | |

I've got a Catalan friend whose name is Neus, which means 'snow'. | |
|
Tue. 2/8/11 11:29am
Jennique:
Working at the AMNH in the Anthropology department, I have to chip in my two cents: The first reference to Inuit having multiple words for snow is in the introduction to The Handbook of North American Indians (1911) by linguist and anthropologist Franz Boas He says: ...just as English uses derived terms for a variety of forms of water (liquid, lake, river, brook, rain, dew, wave, foam) that might be formed by derivational morphology from a single root meaning 'water' in some other language, so Eskimo uses the apparently distinct roots aput 'snow on the ground', gana 'falling snow', piqsirpoq 'drifting snow', and qimuqsuq 'a snow drift' | |
