dionysus introduction
by mayqel qunen'oS 28 Apr '21

28 Apr '21

en Dionysus: God of wine, fruitfulness, parties, festivals, madness, chaos, drunkenness, vegetation, ecstasy, and the theater. He is the twice-born son of Zeus and Semele, in that Zeus snatched him from his mother's womb and stitched Dionysus into his own thigh and carried him until he was ready to be born. In art he is depicted as either an older bearded god (particularly before 430 BC) or an effeminate, long-haired youth (particularly after 430 BC). His attributes include the thyrsus, a drinking cup, the grape vine, and a crown of ivy. He is often in the company of his thiasos, a group of attendants including satyrs, maenads, and his old tutor Silenus. The consort of Dionysus was Ariadne. It was once held that Dionysius was a later addition to the Greek pantheon, but the discovery of Linear B tablets confirm his status as a deity from an early period. Bacchus was another name for him in Greek. His sacred animals include dolphins, serpents, tigers, and donkeys. tlh dionysus: *wine*, chep yIn, lopmey, yupma’mey, maw’chu’ghach, way’ar, chechchu’ghach, tI, Quchchu’ghach’a’, much meHghem je Qun. *zeus* *semele* je puqloD ghaH, ‘ej cha’logh boghpu’; SoSDaj chI’IDvo’ *dionysus* lelta’ *zeus*, ‘uS nev’obDajDaq QISta’, ‘ej boghqa’pu’pa’ *dionysus*, qengtaH *zeus*.

demeter introduction

27 Apr '21

en Demeter: Goddess of grain, agriculture, harvest, growth, and nourishment. Demeter, whose Roman counterpart is Ceres, is a daughter of Cronus and Rhea, and was swallowed and then regurgitated by her father. She is a sister of Zeus, by whom she bore Persephone, who is also known as Kore, i.e. "the girl." One of the central myths associated with Demeter involves Hades' abduction of Persephone and Demeter's lengthy search for her. Demeter is one of the main deities of the Eleusinian Mysteries, in which the rites seemed to center around Demeter's search for and reunion with her daughter, which symbolized both the rebirth of crops in spring and the rebirth of the initiates after death. She is depicted as a mature woman, often crowned and holding sheafs of wheat and a torch.[6] Her symbols are the cornucopia, wheat-ears, the winged serpent, and the lotus staff. Her sacred animals include pigs and snakes. tlh demeter: tIr, Satlh, nen, Soj, yobmeH poH je Qun. *cronus* *rhea* je puqbe’ ghaH; *demeter* ghupta’ vavDaj (*cronus*), ‘ej ghIq ghupHa’pu’. *zeus* be’nI’ ghaH *demeter*‘e’, ‘ej ghaHmo’ *persephone* boghpu’. *persephone*vaD *kore* (puqbe’, be’Hom, be’ Qup) ponglu’ je. *persephone* quchta’ *hades*, ‘ej *persephone* SammeH *demeter*, nIDtaH, qaStaHvIS poH nI’ ‘e’ SovmoH wa’ *demeter* wIch potlh, ‘ach latlh *demeter* wIchmey potlh tu’lu’ je. wa’ *eleusina* poymarmey Qun potlh ghaH *demeter*‘e’, ‘ach latlhpu’ tu’lu’ je: puqbe’Daj SammeH, ‘ej ghomqa’meH, nID *demeter* ‘e’ lubuSlaw’ tayvam.

marISDaq Wright puvwI'

It turns out there’s a Wright Brothers connection to the Ingenuity helicopter now operating on Mars: "This really is a Wright Brothers moment<https://www.pasadenanow.com/main/this-really-is-a-wright-brothers-moment-jp…>," exulted Steve Jurczyk, NASA's acting administrator. Indeed it was, and affixed below Ingenuity's rotors was a physical tribute to Orville and Wilbur Wright's historic 1903 flight above the beach near Kitty Hawk, N.C.: a stamp-sized piece of wing fabric from their original "air machine," Flyer 1. In another bow to the two pioneering bicycle makers who ushered in the Age of Airplanes, the site of Ingenuity's first Martian flight was renamed Wright Brothers Field<https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2021/04/19/nasa-helicopter-ingenuity-…>.” … though I think that “Kitty Hawk” would have been a much better place name! <g> See http://jewishworldreview.com/jeff/jacoby042621.php3 The NASM text gives us an good word for the Ingenuity drone as well – avoiding the issue of number of propellers, vertical vs. horizontal movement, etc.: {puvwI’} a “flyer”.

Michael Dorn

26 Apr '21

Hello, At the Facebook group, a side part of a discussion focussed on Michael Dorn's attitude towards the Klingon language. It seems common knowledge that he doesn't take it seriously, but there are no clear sources or evidences. I would like to write a few lines on that topic in the Klingon Language Wiki, but would like to have reliable sources for what is said. So – does anyone know of a quote or other source where Dorn actually said this? -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.tlhInganHol.com http://klingon.wiki/En/MichaelDorn
