‘Adventurous’ classical scholar Pietro Pucci dies at 96 | Literatures in English - english.cornell.edu/news/adventuro…
"Any modern word or concept can be translated into Latin." Fighting talk! Any words to kick things off?
1/ Everyone in Israel has been talking about the interceptions, but do you know why the Hebrew word for “interception” is יֵרוּט (jɛˈʁut)?
I just found out that the term "Free Palestine" was created by Jews in the 1940s- for the creation of the State of Israel. I love this for us
VIDEO | Lok Sabha elections 2024: "Neither Narendra Modi will become PM again, nor they (BJP-led) will cross the 400 seat mark. In UP, they will struggle to win even 40 seats because of the price hike and corruption," says Congress leader Pramod Tiwari (@pramodtiwari700).…

1/ Discover the captivating journey of the Hebrew word for "dumb" טִפֵּשׁ (tiˈpɛʃ). It traces back to an Akkadian term for "fat" - tapašu, which through Aramaic found its way to Hebrew in the Psalms: טָפַשׁ כַּחֵלֶב לִבָּם (KJV: "Their heart is as fat as grease").
Here's an introduction to Greek and Latin poetry: 10 open-access video lectures (with downloadable handouts) from @Cambridge_Uni. The course covers the rules of scansion, the principles and evolution of all major metres and genres, and plenty more besides! antigonejournal.com/2021/05/introd…
Introducing the Hebrew word for 'pencil': עִפָּרוֹן (i.pɑˈʁon). Coined by author Joseph Klausner in 1896 from עוֹפֶרֶת (o.fɛ'ʁɛt), meaning "lead," it replaced the earlier term עט עופרת (ɛt o.fɛ'ʁɛt), i.e., "lead pen," a calque of the German word "Bleistift." 📝✏️ #LanguageTrivia
Looking for a movie to watch this weekend? I watched around 250 films from the “classic Hollywood era” of the 1930s-50s, while I was at university. Screwball comedies, film noir, lots of great films still fun to watch today. Here are my favourites with one-line synopses. 🧵
1/ Ever wondered about the Hebrew word for "glasses"? Meet מִשְׁקָפַיִם (miʃ.kɑˈfɑ.im), coined in 1890 by Polish-born educator Haim Leib Hazan. 🤓 #LanguageOrigins
1/ Each of the five fingers has a unique name in Hebrew, and here's what they mean! 🤚
I used to have a dear friend who claimed that he'd never studied Greek, but one of whose favourite words was "ōligopistoi". It took several appearances of it for me to realise that he was saying ὠλιγόπιστοι (ὠ+ὀλιγόπιστοι): "O ye of little faith". A word to keep in the pocket!
"If we want to call ourselves critics or judges we should aim to be humane rather than suspicious or cynical. There are few exercises more cowardly than sneering at the dead for no reason. Criticism ought to aim for justice no less than truth." Fracastoro: antigonejournal.com/2022/06/neo-la…
Exploring linguistic quirks: טִיזִינַבִּי (ti.ziˈnɑ.bi) in Hebrew slang refers to a remote place. Its origin, the vulgar Arabic phrase طيز انبي, meaning "the prophet's ass," adds a layer of unexpected linguistic evolution. Language's journey can be quite unpredictable! 🌐🤔
1/ The Hebrew word for "terrorist" is מְחַבֵּל (mɛ.χɑˈbɛl). Interestingly, Hebrew initially used the same term, חַבְּלָן (χɑbˈlɑn), for both a sapper and a terrorist until 1968.
📉 Discover דֵּמִיקוּלוּ (dɛ.miˈku.lu), uniquely expressing "low-quality" or "lousy.” It comes from Judeo-Spanish, originally Latin where it literally means "from my ass" (de mi culo), offering a colorful twist to describing subpar things. 🤷♂️🗣️ #HebrewSlang
