After his masters degree on Onandaga dialect and society, he wrote his dissertation on the suffix -ful, adding research into -ous and then -ly, leading to his work on the reverse order word list and as a professor of linguistics philosophy at Lehigh University, at the Center for Information Science.

Brown seems to have originally been studying with the Onandaga Nation of the Iroquois Confederacy as both an ethnographer and linguist.

In the 1950s and 60s, a linguist named Augustus F. Brown at the University of Pennsylvania was paid by the US Air Force to
produce one of the first computerized concordances of English words in normal and reverse order, published in eight volumes as "Normal and Reverse Order English Word List".

I just wanted to say "strict and predictable meaning laws"
Linguistic paleontology assumes that certain word forms reconstructed to PIE denoted particular artifacts, species, and concepts already known to its speakers—most notably the wheel. Reconstruction operates through laws of sound change and can thus be precise and reliable on this level. There are no comparably strict and predictable meaning laws, however, so it is often much more challenging to pinpoint what exact meanings were at specific deep points in time. The same reconstructed word forms have thus been inferred as evidence that PIE speakers either already did know of the wheel (5, 65), or that they did not yet know of it, and that the invention postdated the common ancestor language (8, 66–68).

Got a good suggestion on tweaking the translation, and also no cursor in the screenshot (humiliating)
Flag by Yu Chi-Hwan This is a shout without sound. Ever-present nostalgia's handkerchief waving toward the blue sea. Pure emotion flutters in the wind like the ocean waves, and at the end of the clear, straight signpost of the Idea melancholy spreads her wings like a heron. Oh, who was the first like this, to raise in the air the line of their mournful, their harrowed heart.

if you want to think about something there's nothing better than finding a great poem of that word in another language and translating it

Why did the children need to work?
www.nytimes.com/2023/09/18/m...
Ellenberger spent the past year wondering if she should be doing more to protect her working students. She is from a college town where the hardest job a child might find is busing tables. When she told her parents about Marcos’s injury, they couldn’t understand how children were allowed in slaughterhouses. “They were horrified, but I explained that’s normal here,” she says. Teachers are mandated by law to report injuries resulting from abuse or neglect but not accidents connected to child-labor violations. In Accomack, teachers hesitated to make reports that might further jeopardize children they knew needed to work. Occasionally, students showed teachers acid burns or confided that they were allergic to the cleaning solutions. Some of the ninth graders had what sounded like smokers’ coughs; one had been coughing so much that teachers spoke with her guardian, who said her lungs had been burned by bleach.

If you think about how rapidly people saw sea levels rise in the period between 20kya and 5kya it's pretty easy to imagine why everybody thought they lived on Flood Earth

please show some respect to the of-phrase genitive
85 . The appositive noun is sometimes supplanted by a phrase, or even by a genitive . The appositive genitive is now a poetic form only. 1. The city of London 2. A jewel of a child 3. The island of Great Britain. Bri tain's isle 4. The land of Canaan

rapidly rewriting freud's "antithetical meaning of primal words" to be about this now
For comparison with the dream-work there is another extremely strange characteristic of the ancient Egyptian language which is significant. 'In Egyptian, words can-apparently, we will say to begin with-reverse their sound as well as their sense. Let us suppose that the German word "gut" ["good"] was Egyptian: it could then mean "bad" as well as "good", and be pronounced "tug" as well as "gut". Numerous examples of such reversals of sound, which are too frequent to be explained as chance occurrences, can be produced from the Aryan and Semitic languages as well. Confining ourselves in the first instance to Germanic languages we may note: Topf [pot]-pot; boat-tub; wait-tauwen (tarry]; hurry-Ruhe (rest]; care -reek; Balken [beam]-Klohe [log], club. If we take the other Inda-Germanic languages into consideration, the number of relevant instances grows accordingly; for example, capere [Latin for "take"]-packen [German for "seize"]; ren [Latin for "kidney"]-Niere [German for "kidney"]; ... Filr den Vergleich mit der Traumarbeit hat noch eine andere, höchst sonderbare Eigentümlichkeit der altägyptischen Sprache Bedeutung. »Im Agyptischen konnen die Worte- wir wollen zunach.st sagen, scheinbar - sowohl Laut wie Sinn umdrehen. Angenommen, das deutsche Wort gut ware ägyptisch, so konnte es neben gut auch schlecht bedeuten, neben gut auch tug lauten. Von solchen Lautumdrehungen, die zu zahl' reich sind, um durch Zufälligkeit erklart zu werden, kann man auch reichliche Beispiele aus den arischen und semitischen Sprachen beibringen. Wenn man sich zunächst aufs Germanische beschrankt, merke man: Top/ - pot; boat - tub; wait - ti:iuwen; hurry - Ruhe; care ..,.. reek; Balken - Klobe, ~lub. Zieht man die anderen indogermanischen Sprachen mit in Betracht, so wachst die Zahl der dazugehörigen Falle entsprechend, z. B.: capere- packen; ren -Niere; the leaf (Blatt)- folium; [russisch] dum-a [Denken], ihiμ6~ - sanskrit medh, mudha [Seele]; Mut; Rauchen-russisch Kur-it; ...

today I entered the post prigozhin era by learning that the original "when you come at the king" quote is ralph waldo emerson talking about plato
A young friend of mine in his college days wrote an essay on Plato. When he mentioned his subject to Mr. [Ralph Waldo] Emerson, he got the caution, long remembered, "When you strike at a King, you must kill him."

after all why shouldn't I keep it meme about me needlessly making up words that don't exist to use in my dissertation today it was peakface or peak face when a mountain has a peak that also had a jutted up bit that is the highest part of the peak such as Hallasan in that case it is a peak face
halla mountain with a peak face, where the highest point on the mountain is also the top of a mountain face but in this instance additionally there is a burst above the otherwise contours of the mountain such that the peak is a distinct zone on the mountain in this case including a face rather than a mere inevitable apex arising from any two non parallel vertical lines
