urubu

This is the entry for 'poika' in a Finnish etymological dictionary (Nykysuomen etymologinen sanakirja), run through deepl:

"The word has definite etymological equivalents in both closely related and distantly related languages, e.g. Karelian and Votic poika, Ludic and Vepsian poig}, Estonian poeg, Livonian puoga, Komi and Udmurt pi, Mansi pig, and Hungarian fiu. Possible equivalents are also the initial parts of the Mordvin word pijo 'grandchild' and the Mari word puerge 'male person' (erge 'man'). The original form of the word has been reconstructed as *pojka. The Swedish pojke, which in the past also meant 'servant boy', is apparently a loanword from Finnish. In contrast, the English boy and the etymologically related German Bube have different origins."

The English title is 'Quest for Fire'.

There are actually two distinct languages (a kind of Proto-Proto-Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Proto-Proto-Uralic) spoken in the movie, created by Anthony Burgess. He later wrote an essay (the title of which escapes me ATM) about the thinking behind it.

Some background: https://www.anthonyburgess.org/quest-for-fire/about-quest-fo...

For comparison: Spanish has around 4000 words of Arabic origin.

I don't think anyone ever called Spanish almost Semitic.

There is a technical linguistic term for it - th fronting:

Apparently it's been around for quite a bit of time.

Likewise here in Germany. 0.79 €/500 g for the own brand in just about every supermarket (it used to be 0.49 € before inflation hit).

There is an effect called dispersion, which causes different frequencies of electromagnetic radiation to travel through a medium at different speeds (lower frequencies => slower).

It's strong enough to be noticeable in the case of pulsars (but probably insignificant inside the solar system).

The Finnish course is especially bad in this regard. You learn the words for 'lynx' (ilves) and 'wolverine' (ahma), but not for 'left' and 'right'.

Standing calf raises train the gastrocnemius and the soleus. Many gyms also have a seated calf raise machine which is meant to isolate the soleus.

I don't think I ever felt anything special after using it.

Depends on the activity level. According to this calculator:

his (assuming a dude) energy expenditure is:

Basal metabolic rate: 1819 cal/day

Sedentary (little or no exercise) 2,183

Exercise 1-3 times/week 2,501

There's also a video series to go along with the book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTle8uT7NEM&list=PLmXNllWcFF...

There seems to be a Kazakh translation by a guy called Medeubai Kurmanov.

See: http://www.rusnauka.com/9_NND_2014/Philologia/6_162301.doc.h...

Quote: 'The first part of tragedy in Kazakh language was published in 1969. The full translation of Goethe’s drama poem "Faust" was edited in 1983. The translation of "Faust" into Kazakh language in Germany was marked. Klaus Schneider in his book «Alma-Ata. Kasachischer Fruehling» writes with delight about Medeubai Kurmanov. Many warm words are written about him in the reporting of Rut Kraft «Fruechte aus Alma-Ata». Medeubai Kurmanov is selected the honorary member of Goethe International society.'

Maybe the Goethe-Institut in Almaty knows more.

Not to be pedantic, but I think 'laying' has a different etymology, namely this one (quote from the OED):

'lay, v.1 General sense: To cause to lie.

[OE. lęcgan = OFris. ledsa, lega, leia, OS. leggian (Du. leggen), OHG. lecken, legen (MHG., mod.G. legen), ON. legja (Sw. lägga, Da. lægge), Goth. (= OTeut.) lagjan, f. lag- ablaut-variant of OTeut. leg-: see lie v.'

OE = Old English, OFris.= Old Frisian etc.

There are other bi-/trilingual texts, like the decree of Canopus:

Here's a website with a list of such textbooks for various languages:

Pareto made a distinction between 'residues' (psychological bases underlying social action) and 'derivations' (rationalizations by members of society as justifications of those actions). It might be used in that sense here.

Here is a 2020 review of more recent studies: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/antioxidants/

Yes, those units are called 'semantic primes/primitives': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_primes

A random sentence:

'To earn money to support myself and approve “Asians are NOT stupid”, I started to look up information online [....]'

She seems to be mixing up 'approve' and 'prove that'.

Probably 'Bruttoinlandsprodukt', German for GDP.

About one third of the original vocabulary is derived from Germanic languages (prominent examples: birdo, fajro, ŝtono, strato).

Sounds a bit like what the Wordflex app does: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wordflex-touch-dictionary/id...

Rule #1 should probably be complemented with Tyler Cowen's proviso: If the book lists PhD after the author's name, run the other way.

Shortwave listening used to be the gateway drug for many hams. That's the reason for the apparent overlap.

Receivers of this type are pretty useless on the ham bands. You can't even connect a proper antenna to it (technically you can, but the unit would struggle with overload issues).

It's still very much alive on shortwave. Here's a US ham demoing it: https://youtu.be/ZB1Fz294aLw

Yes, those overtitles can be distracting as hell.

I like the solution the Komische Oper Berlin uses. Individual displays for every seat, switchable between German, English, French and Turkish (and off):

Yeah, read page sample(1:150, 1) of novels sounds like a better approach.

Funnily enough, there is a (French) Page 112 prize: https://www.prix-de-la-page-112.com/

Tack. Works here in Tyskland.

In German, Ohm's Law is jokingly called 'Geller Triangle' (after Israeli illusionist Uri Geller).

By covering the magnitude you're looking for, you get the formula to calculate it.

Great tip!
