Orthodox, my dear Q. The pharyngeal is needed in English to produce the voiceless dental fricative (we so love our dental fricatives in English). You are thinking a bit too Italiano, and not enough Hellenico! Nice loaf of bread, by the way. The "Irishman" in me wants to slather butter all over it, and fix a pot of tea...Prosphora (πρόσφορον): The loaf of Eucharistical bread in the Ortodox Rite, with the typical Ortodox Christogram.
You are right, of course. At first I wrote "Prosfora", then corrected before posting. But I forgot that particular "h"Orthodox, my dear Q.

Wish we had that in the Italian Constitution too. Not that I am a "pistolero", in fact I have shot a couple of times ina rifle range and that's it. But I think that who is able to defend himself with a firearm should be entitled to keep one freely (for instance, in Switzerland there is a gun per family and crime news are the most boring of all the continent: in fact, the Swiss basically copy-pasted your Constitution ... with a few changes)second amendment (gun)
I am surprised the forum wants comments about guns and political philosophy in the threads. Without much ado, I will simply posit: disagree. [was on rifle team in college. Has fired an M-16. Took both my children to firing ranges when they were teenagers. Pro-military. Pro (good) policing. Growing up we had 4 pistols, 3 rifles, and 2 shotguns in the house (plus a BB gun which could fire through a sheet of plywood), my father having one pistol by his bedside, loaded and unlocked. No licensing or registration at all needed--typical US state. But I am Progressive. Partial libertarian--the government should not interfere with decisions about reproduction.

Now that you make me think of firearms, here are the symbols of Liege's "firearms test stand". I think more than half of European firearms have been tested there and bear this marks. Besides, they have the best damask patterns for steel IMHO (e.g. Lebeau-Courally)

Touchy, touchy. How delicate...how easily you take offense. The photo is copied from Wikipedia, so nothing new here... It was only posted as an example of the endurance of the Gadsden Flag as a symbol, and not to espouse or initiate a discussion of any political philosophy. Can you not appreciate the difference between discussion of a symbol and espousal of a philosophy? This thread is about symbols, remember? It also represents an opportunity for the members on here to divert themselves and one another, in group form, from the more serious and occasionally exhausting business of trying to learn and understand Latin grammar, which is what we do here. Also, please indicate to me the language by myself which suggests that I either approve of or glorify the events of January in D.C. I predict that you will not be able to do so, and I do not enjoy at all being libelled.Really, putting a photo of people storming the US capitol--approvingly?
Sorry, it was not in my plans to trigger a reaction or be too "political". I just praised that particular (US) Constitution (I daresay most scholars would agree with me) and mention some steel works you see on -artistically and historically relevant- guns from a certain city where steel craftmanship thrived in the past -again, this is unquestionable-I am surprised the forum wants comments about guns and political philosophy in the threads
...Ecce minaciter imminet arbiter ille supremus...I daresay most scholars would call you an arrogant puppy if you were assuming that they would agree with your curious proposition that the right to be an American-style gun nut is one that should serve as an international model, which is what you appear to be saying.
I'm not a native but there's a chance merriam-webster has this noun...Not that I am a "pistolero"
You are so clever really, nobody uses stereotypes better than you do. Chapeau!American-style gun nut
His latest film Mule (directed and starred in) is very watchable. Apparently based on an old fella who worked as a mule for a Mexican drug cartel. He's looking old now though, perhaps his last film.
I haven't watched it yet. This weekend I'll try to take some time to watch it. I like his composure.His latest film Mule (directed and starred in) is very watchable. Apparently based on an old fella who worked as a mule for a Mexican drug cartel. He's looking old now though, perhaps his last film.
