Thank you for that information Henry. Do not decry your knowledge of
English however as it is far superior to many Englishmen that I have met!
That includes the knowledge of words less used by many and their spelling.
If I could speak and write your own language as well as you can write in
mine (And probably speak) then I would be a happy man. I realise that many
European (And other) countries teach English as a second language and
consequently their grasp of our tongue is more than adequate, even better
than many on our island.
As it is, I have to content myself with a tiny smattering of schoolboy
French, taught for only a few weeks, so not really much good, and tiny
bits and pieces of German, Mandarin Chinese and a short stint of Larn
yasel Russian from a Series of books which taught languages. A knowledge
of the Greek and Latin alphabets, which I have carried with me for many
years in order to decipher certain writings which I encounter on my
literary travels is also less of a secret to myself. Etymology, being a
particularly favourite subject of mine, helps give a wider understanding
of many words and meanings. A linguist I am not, but I am extremely
interested in the origins of language and have done considerably research
on this subject which gives a good overall picture as well as showing the
migration of mankind around the globe.
I am too busy with my own interests (Dowsing and local history) but that
sort of thing is extremely interesting to myself. I shall keep my eye out
for further details of it. It is not. I feel, something which I have heard
of. Without some reference point, a name or the name of the area where it
was discovered, makes for a tedious search, but one I might try when less
busy.
One does not associate Prehistoric man with "Golden disks", rather more
with stone carvings and (Stone pillar) erections! Thank you again Henry
(Which of course is a Germanic name from "Main" meaning "home" and "Ric"
meaning "Power", "Ruler" Latin "Henricus", only appearing really as
"Henry" previously "Harry" was more popular, in England after the C17th).
Regards.
