Diamastigoo, whip brutally. Ritual of worship to the goddess Artemis Ortia: The irenes or Spartan ephebos had to get a cheese from the altar of the goddess with the opposition of adults provided with whips. The blood shed in honor of the goddess did not normally reach the river but, in Cicero's words, it once did, especially when the ritual also became a spectacle.
Equatorianism. Adverb formed with the Quichua piti, a little and the Castilian more. This is what the conquenses of Ecuador usually say after taking a glass of the water of pítimas, a refreshing drink and say that medicinal, made by some nuns: A little more! It is an infusion of valerian, rose petals, lemongrass and some other herbs.
This is one of the many ways people name the cork tree. They also call it Extremadura cork oak, casquizo cork oak, cork oak, migueleñas acorns, bell. pigeons, bell. martinencas , chaparro , cork , oak sobrero , sobreiro . . . Botanists, more serious themselves, call him quercus suber. Its bark, cork, defends it from fires and has many industrial uses. The most common and traditional, the cap of wine bottles. For my tierruca there are not many, but a little further south yes, in the Arribes, Salamanca, Extremadura and especially in our sister land, Portugal. The Quercus are my favorite trees, the oaks, the holm oaks, the cork oaks. How Stoic they are!
Our Levantines are very fond of fireworks especially in parties and celebrations. Also in our Castilian and Leonese villages rockets used to be fired at weddings and other parties. Not now, there are a lot of fires. But the expression also has a figurative sense that alludes to the cause for which rockets are thrown: celebrate something, rejoice, be happy for something that is right or worthwhile or simply recognize that something is good. Although it almost always has a negative form: Not being or being something to shoot rockets means that it is not as good as presumed or as they say.
The suffix -landia derives from the Germanic land, (land, country), the RAE says site of or place of , frequently used in Nordic place names. Country of gringos , USA . Around here Yanquilandia is preferred especially among people on the left and with derogatory nuances that I think also exist among Ibero-Americans.
If this word existed it would mean the same as adverb, grammatical category derived from adverbium (ad verbum, next to the word), in Latin. For latin prepositions ad o in más accusative mean direction towards or proximity among other things. But Latin and later Castilian speakers chose adverbium and adverb. And it is that the language is made by the speakers, then come the scribes, language recorders and academics.
On August 31, I was surprised by our vice president and minister of labor Yolanda Díaz, (what a precious woman, fighter for workers' rights!) , with this saying of the law that I did not know: When there are evidentiary documents, it is better to keep quiet. The written proof of a document has more value than oral testimony. The beards in the saying also allude to other historical moments not so distant in which women did not paint anything as in this other macho saying: Where there are beards, they are silent skirts.
Latin expression: Order from chaos . Motto of the Freemasons of the Scottish rite that replaced the one attributed to the legendary Richard the Lionheart in the twelfth century Deus meumque ius (God and my right). Already our classical Greeks, one of our cultural pillars, had said that the Cosmos (ordered matter) came from chaos, either by the action of a demiurge computer (Plato) or by the evolution of chaos itself. Christians are another story with their idea of creation.
Priority is a cultism derived from the Latin praelatio, preference, priority (prefix prae- , before , in front of and latio , noun of latus , participle of fero , carry ) . Order of preference or priority in any system of things in which their elements are related and compared.
They also call it Samaritan oil, thieves oil for those above. It is a blend of essential oils from 5 plants: cinnamon, lemon, cloves, eucalyptus and rosemary. Created, apparently, by four French perfumers of the early fifteenth century who robbed the dead of the Black Death without getting infected. At the trial they declared their secret to get rid of the sentence. It seems that it does have antiseptic and disinfectant properties. I've always heard it said that cinnamon is antifungal.
In Latin, mirror stone. They also say glass, light stone, glitter, crystalline plaster. As Pliny the Elder tells us in his Natural History the best mines of this crystallized gypsum were in the surroundings of Segóbriga, near the current Saelices in the province of Cuenca. In the first centuries of our era it was used mainly as glass for windows that although it was not transparent, it was at least translucent.
In English, spot, drop, amorphous mass. Botanists call this a yellow mucilaginous mold, long considered a fungus. A single-celled protist organism with many heads devoid of nervous system but with learning capacity, the physarum polycephalum, used in scientific experiments. The name derives from the eponymous 1958 science fiction horror film starring Steve McQueen, (the voracious stain, terror has no form, the devouring mass).
Medical term . Rare inherited disease (only 50 diagnoses) due to the mutation of a gene on chromosome 1 that causes deficiency of the enzyme katepsin K with fragility in the bones and short stature. It seems that it was the illness of the French painter Tuoluse-Lautrec, that is why it bears his name.
De mensis , month . Medieval artistic representation of the months of the year associated with agricultural work. The mensarios of some of our Romanesque churches are really beautiful, such as the one that appears on the cover of San Miguel in Beleña de Sorbe in the mountains of Guadalajara.
From the Latin tripaliare and tripalium, three sticks, two in blade and one vertical, instrument of punishment and torture to which slaves and inmates were tied in ancient times. It seems that this is the origin of our word work and it is true that it has often been regarded as divine punishment or necessary torture or suffering: "You shall earn bread with the sweat of your brow."
