Shades of night were falling fast
When through and Alpine village passed
A youth whose banner bore this strange device
"Antrorse!"

Well, it would make more sense than "Excelsior" which for the first fifteen years of my live
meant spaghetti-like filaments of pine or other soft wood used to protect glass bottles of
medicines that came by parcel post to my father. It was great for starting fire in kitchen
stove.

antrorse
adj.
5ModL antrorsus: see ANTERIOR & VERSE6Biol. upward or forward
an[trorse$ly
adv.

An apiarist is not a guy who goes ape, or keeps apes. He keeps bees. One of main
highways running south from Rome was the Appian Way, because there were so
many hives in sight along the way. I used to keep three-banded Italians, Apis
mellifera.

By jove, this is news to me. (about space probe Galileo)
Galileo reaches apojove on Friday of this week and starts its journey back to the
heart of the Jupiter system. Apojove is the farthest point from Jupiter for a given orbit.

Joke on me I thought it meant apo + gonad = hung far low. (There was a Chinese restaurant
by that nnme in Boton fifty years ago, scout's honor!) Instead its adjective for some crummy
fish:
"Larval Fish: Family Apogonidae

Cardinal fishes (Apogonidae) are common inhabitants of the waters around Carrie Bow Cay. They are
largely nocturnal, hiding in caves, crevices, and overhangs during the day and coming out to forage at
night. Most western Atlantic species are reddish in color, with or without various dark markings. Larvae
are also characterized by their reddish color, sometimes with the addition of some yellow pigment in the
fins. Various species or "types" can be distinguished by variations in the kind and
distribution of pigment, but not all of them have been conclusively linked to adult species.
There is little or no variation in meristic characters between the local apogonid species, and
identification is largely based on color pattern. Only when the distinctive adult patterns begin
to develop can the larvae be identified.

Pertaining to or resembling the Roman god Apollo, of manly beauty and wisdom of oracles

This was from spelling bee, but luckily when I searched I found tsuwm had used it
a couple days ago. Don't remember seeing it in my e-mail. But tsuwm says he is
having trouble keeping up with the load. I can readily believe that. So I copied

Not to be confused with epiphysis, the places at ends of long bones where a zone of cartilage
gives rise to bone producing elongation of the bone.

From St.Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica

Accordingly, the first change wrought in the
appetite by the appetible object is called "love," and is nothing else than
complacency in that object; and from this complacency results a movement
towards that same object, and this movement is "desire"; and lastly, there is rest
which is "joy." Since, therefore, love consists in a change wrought in the appetite
by the appetible object, it is evident that love is a passion: properly so called,
according as it is in the concupiscible faculty; in a wider and extended sense,
according as it is in the will.

Appian Way, because there were so
many hives in sight along the way

It would surprise me if this were so. The word for bee has only one p. Appius was a Roman family name although I don't find its meaning right quick. I'll be back.

Dear Faldage: I guess I should not have trusted the big fat bee book published by maker
of hive equipment. I can find no substantiation for alleged association of bees and Appian way.

Possibly it was built by familia Appio (or under their ægis) and some punny beekeepers thought they'd take advantage of the name to get some free advertising.

Far be it from any of us here to confuse apophysis with epiphysis.
