A scientist and poet -- a sort of a fire-breathing dragonfly by temperament -- flitted through here some months ago and departed, parts unknown, troubled by the same question and waking no small ruckus behind her. Maybe no ruckus at all. We agreed, she and I, abaracadabarav is Aramaic. But all is not harmony and likely never will be, and we never came to terms on just what it might be Aramaic for. I can't remember what *she* said, but I still maintain it means "I will do according to you word." Or, to put it another way, "Your will be done." Lord knows. Added to which "And I never did see her again" makes a ballad and lament.
