Am I the only one who looks across both ponds for "a little help" on this one...? "...means "ewe" or "purity" depending on where you look."  ... I don't know where to start the *innuendo(es). ************** My online name here has many layers of definitions (what else is new), the most obvious of which is that I've been a musician for @ 8/9ths of my life, and I started when I was under 5yrs old. Although 'music' has developed to mean the common "sound based structures" to which the name is attributed, I'd like to think it as (possibly was once defined/understood as) "of or having the qualities of (a) 'muse'." Aside from it being an original, maybe the first written form of the word we know and use as "music"... the "sick" part, well, you'll just have to shtick around a while...

When I lived in Mexico, family and friends had a little trouble wrapping their tongues around my foreign, American sounding given name, Connie, so I took the name Consuelo and I'm not giving it back  . It suits me (like musick's suits him like a one pound onion) and is an interesting blend of my given name and my middle name, a blend I much prefer to the unblended version. For more info on my taken name, check here: http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=41994

droit du seigneurI had to look that one up to see if it means what I thought it means: "(French: “right of the lord”), a feudal right said to have existed in medieval Europe giving the lord to whom it belonged the right to sleep the first night with the bride of any one of his vassals." Looks like those "male bonding rituals" are rubbing off on you, AnnaS. Ewe et mon droit.Faldo should emblazon that on his coat-of-arms! [At least on his Jockey shorts.]  Maybe he already has. Too much to hope you will share that with us? [I'm already in stitches. I'll even pay for the seamstress.]

Unfortunately, I have never known the meaning of my true name. For it is Pailani...the only thing I know of it is that it is from the old Sumarian language. Other then that, I have no idea. Maybe some one whom reads this might have a clue and be able to direct me in the right direction so that I may discover the meaning.

Reverend Alimae - Although I cannot help you with your discovery process, I do wish you a hearty welcome to our 'linguistic mosh pit'. I'll assure you you'll find someone here who "has a clue".

Thank you so much for welcoming me as well as giving me encouragement to continue with my quest. I look forward to being able to offer my style of catechizing different linguistic words.
