"In Paris, the name Apache is given to a class of criminals to describe whom in America the name thug was borrowed from India."
Another instance of a more conservative usage in which case is used to impart a meaning which we, in our more enlightened era, consign to prepositions.

Bingley, you may now move to the head of the class.
And where was I before? [miffed ... mutter, mutter] Bingley
Before? If I recall aright your delicately restrained comments in the "Brick Sh*thouse" thread, you were previously "the class of the head".

Bingley, my dear, if you recall, you were declared to be our language expert. I'd say that pretty much puts you at the top of your class.
(Note to newcomers: tsuwm was declared our word expert.)
(Note to all: I propose that Nicholas be declared our languages expert.)

Sweet Double-dub, nary a dunce you are. You just need a bit more time to learn your way around. As do I--as long as I've been here, there's still a lot I don't know. The most recent revelation was how Helen solved the problem of accessing the Loanwords to German title--it has never ever occurred to me to do what she did, though it's been in front of my face this whole time.
