Jan 29: Feast of Gildas (†c.570), abbot. Probably a northern Briton, he worked in Wales and finally Brittany. He wrote The Ruin of Britain, which blamed the sins of contemporary British rulers and clerics for the victory of the Anglo-Saxon invaders. 📸Romary / British Library #medievalsky

Parce que la Grèce est, de fait, bigraphe. On utilise en permanence des mots occidentaux, écrits en alphabet latin, comme ça au milieu des phrases. Par exemple ce panneau fréquent : PARKING ΠΕΛΑΤΩΝ (parking clients). On s'y habitue tellement qu'on ne remarque plus, à force.

La (possible) origine française du mot écossais « hogmanay » (qui désigne le dernier jour de l’année)
Et on se souviendra que « au gui l’an neuf » a donné « guignolée »
Et on se souviendra que « au gui l’an neuf » a donné « guignolée »
Here's a December-31st-related etymology: 'hogmanay', a primarily Scottish term for the day.
Its history isn't crystal clear, but the evidence points to a French origin, specifically Old/Middle French aguillanneuf. This was an exclamation, partly composed of the words an 'year' and neuf 'new'.

🙋Did you know that Edinburgh's "official" Hogmanay festivities are an ancient tradition dating back to the last century? 🎆
1993 to be precise.
The event was dreamed up by Edinburgh Marketing and Unique Events Ltd. to "[package] Edinburgh more effectively" and thus "improve the visitor experience" 🧵👇

In Brittany, families are coming together to raise a new generation of speakers of Brezhoneg, an endangered Celtic language. But they’re not doing it alone - they’re learning from their friends in the Māori revival movement.
