Hagi(o)- The Greek hagios 'holy, sanctified' only has cognates in the Indic branch: Skt yajati 'revered with prayer and offering/sacrifice'; Skt yajas 'veneration, adoration' and Gk hagos 'guilt, maculation, sacrifice' (both of which are neuter nouns). From PIE * jag- 'venerate religiously'. HaggisFrom ON höggva, related to haggle, hew, hay, etc. From PIE kau- 'to hew, hoe; to beat, hit'. http://www.bartleby.com/61/roots/IE208.htmlNot sure whence hag, other than the OE hægtesse. Is it only used for saints? That is, if I took a trip to Europe, would I have translated myself over there? I'm sure you can say it, though it's usually used of saints and bishops. Has a nice old fashioned sound to it, though it does sound permanent, not like you're coming back.

>Das ist gut, liebling
More alimentary humor: And I thought I was the vili-an here! Of course I'm the only one so far who has a visual pun in my post.
I'll put the next one in the appendix. To go a little lower, I'm certain it won't make a vas deferens to anyone.

I found it wryly interesting, given current events, that in chess Bishops can move only diagonally- or so I've been told.
When a player moves a Bishop is the Bishop being translated? Hmmmm ?

They'd have to change sides wouldn't they? Also, the bishop was originally an elephant. Still is in Chinese chess (xiang qi): an interesting variant.
