东言西语 Palatine指“毛皮围巾”是源于什么语言？metathesis是什么意思？ 丁朝阳 音位转换e.g.现代英语的bird 是由古英语的 brid 换位而成。 hawkie pallium 大披肩 （Palatine? 毛皮围巾？） 5718582 丁老师：上次有人讲KNEE与gon是同源，那这是音位转换吗？谢谢 Q4C 不是吧， 元音插入吧 先是元音脱落kneekngngon元音插入 。 东言西语 谁可以谈谈palvaer一词的词源故事？是不是欧洲人与探索西非有关 稻草人 Originally nautical slang, from Portuguese palavra (“word”), from Late Latin parabola (“parable, speech”) /wiki/palaver Grace 词源里是提到了形成于船员的俚语，非洲 和葡萄牙 ，或许和你要的 探索西非有点关联，但不够详细：Palaver originated as a piece of naval slang picked up by English sailors in Africa. There they came across Portuguese traders negotiating with the local inhabitants, a process known in Portuguese as palavra ‘speech’ (a descendant of Latin parabola, source of English parable). They took the Portugese word over as palaver, applying it first to ‘negotiations’, and then by extension to ‘idle chatter’. 正好整理到这个，分享下：关于“the tropic of Cancer北回归线 and the tropic of Capricorn 南回归线”： Cancer 巨蟹宫(黄道第四宫 6月22日－7月22日) Capricorn 魔羯宫(黄道第十宫 12月22日－ 1月19日) 每年的6月21日或22日，太阳光直射到北纬23°26′ 时，正是巨蟹宫的所在纬线，同理，每年的12月21日或22日，太阳光直射到南纬23°26′时，正是魔羯宫的所在纬线。所以， 北回归线也就是“巨蟹宫回归线”，南回归线也就是“魔羯宫回归线”。 tropic的词源追溯到turn , ----- the two lines of latitude which bound them (the tropic of Cancer北回归线 and the tropic of Capricorn 南回归线) mark the points at which the sun reaches its zenith at the solstices and then ‘turns’ back. 晓柯 vert有什么解释吗 Grace 指ver 和 turn ？ 晓柯 绿色和转变之间有没有关联呢 晓柯 ver是拉丁语里的春，如果没有关联，这就是源头了吧 parent和pare同源吗，关联在哪里 光星 verdure c.1300, fresh green color, from O.Fr. verdure greenness, from verd, variant of vert green, from L. viridis (cf. Sp., It. verde), related to virere be green, of unknown origin. Perhaps ult. from a root meaning growing plant and cognate with Lith. veisti propagate, O.N. visir bud, sprout, O.E. wise sprout, stalk, etc. Meaning green plants, vegetation is attested from c.1400 词源字典上 解释parent与pare同源来自于印欧词根 *per- to bring forward, bring forth 晓柯 词源上是说的同源，可是它讲的不清楚，bring forth 似乎与pare无关呀
