RE: Information Finding Championship - Season 1 : Round 24 - "The Beauty of Shasta"
This is a pretty good breakdown. Nice work bashadow! It sure is interesting how much language has changed over time and how many different cultures have influenced each language, especially English. I could spend a whole lifetime studying just this subject and it wouldn't be enough time and I wouldn't be able to know as much as I'd like. Life sure is deep, it can be intimidated at times, but we all do the best we can to try to understand things as much as we can. Great entry! Thanks for helping to share the knowledge! :)
Also that's neat about Shasta. My family is from Mt Shasta also. Definitely an interesting place like Sedona is. Sedona also is a word that you probably can't find any Etymology on, though I have hunches it comes from an ancient goddess/god of water with a similar sounding name. Sedna I think it was? Which is also a planet in outerspace as well IIRC. I think sometimes words may have an etymology even if it's not necessarily known. A lot of etymology is guesswork as well and I don't think many people really know where many words truly came from.
Oh and... Yes I think the memes are getting better! :D Nice work!
Like the Sanskrit meaning she taught the others how to climb the stairs, and how to fly from the living room over the one step down to another room, and she taught all the other critters to toe her line, that she was boss.
Sounds like an awesome little friend. :)
