@sakamvari Terve to you , the lakes and woods are gorgeous. Interesting facts. The birthday parties are smart idea. Lot of lakes. (Suomi) Finland must be a very relaxed country.
I am a travel blogger and am interested in reading about new blogs and websites or their posts; I recently searched and came on to your website and found it fantastic and very informative.
I read multiple blogs and articles on your website, and then post "Ngurrju Mayinpa Hello In Warlpiri" was amazing, and I am also a travel writer if you like or want to know about kamakhya temple you can follow me.
@waterman1 quite a coincidence indeed! I do see Djin played in here pretty often though, along with the variants Djinn, jin, jinn, jinni, etc. (and probably more). I suppose "genie" could be considered an offshoot...
@pangloss yes, the Basque language is fascinating! I don't know a lot about it but maybe I could propose that we call it one of the "purest" rather than the "oldest" languages? In other words, it must certainly have evolved over the millennia, but without much influence from other languages. It doesn't seem likely that it would be unchanged from the time of Neanderthal humans. (AFAIK it's unproven whether Neanderthals had a spoken language...)
@mistertoad my guess would be that English (or maybe "english") is acceptable as a word in certain games (in billiards one can "put some english" on a shot). Similarly, graphic artists use india ink, and when guests come over I bring out the good china: turning proper nouns into common ones! (of course I do still frequently see words being accept in the game when I had assumed they would be disallowed because of capitalization issues...)
