Ooh I love Latin! It has a gazillion words for "kill" and no word for "please".
Shelving errors annoy me a bit, actually. (There's just no order to the universe!! Tongue Rolleyes Tongue ) ...Because they make things harder to find.

Curious. What's that?

Feminine symbols of war are not particularly uncommon, but it is unusual not to have any male deity associated with war.

What about the words 'placeo' and 'placo'? I never was good at latin, but some words do come up now.


"placet" = "it pleases"

There is a word for the verb "to please" (Placere) but not "please" in the sense of making a request.

(...Because Romans don't do requests, just demands!!! Big Grin )

I like Central Asia too, but lately my focus has been on those 'Stans which are not yet independent countries:like TartarstanWink. Could care less 'bout Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tajikistan....but what about Yunanistan Tim? Big Grin
But Tim, what about Afghanistan and Pakistan?BTW The word "bashi" means chieftan; the turkish word for father is "ata"[hence *Ataturk*]. And, Yunanistan is the turkish name for greece. Big Grin
Finally, when you think of the 'Stans, dont forget the biggest one: Hindustan Wink
Emmy: The (official)languages of Afghanistan and Pakistan are NOT related to Turkish!!! The peoples of those 2 countries speak Indo-Iranian languages like they do in India and Iran.What you said applies ONLY to the 'Stans that were former soviet republics! Besides, I guess you dont get it when I said Yunanistan(greece in turkish). *sigh*
OOPS! Sorry Emmy, I didnt realize that your reply was in red! Sad
I was addressing Tim Homer. BTW folks, "Stan" is a word of indo-iranian loanword(in turkic) meaning "country" or "land of".
Yes it does Wink
I feel like enumerating some more 'Stans(these ones are not independent nations):

Tartarstan
Bashkortostan
Kalmukstan
Karakalpakstan
Khuzestan
Baluchistan
Khalistan
Waziristan
Kurdistan
Haikastan(AKA "Armenia")
Daghestan
Nuristan
Come to think of it. Ive been thinking about cult killings lately; like the infamous Zebra Killings of the 70s. Anyone ever heard of THAT case??
Near Seattle's Wooland Park Zoo is a small park called: woodland park as you might've guessed. This park is notorious for (gay)Bathroom Buggery. Guys shamelessly pegg each other in the public restroom; whats more is that when high school sports team train in the park they're often approached by adult gay men-usually guys who arent out looking for a buttbang.Tongue
WHY, oh Why are (US)Republicans the overwhelming majority when it comes to involvement in gay sex scandals?? Tongue
