Old grapes started it all, we owe it all to grapes.

    There is a Language in Hawai’i that is spoken by a few people. I believe it was started in the 1840’s by Norwegian settlers. My great-grandmother said that around the 1910s, the language started to be used to keep secrets, as the Americans were a bit harsh and totalitarian. So they started to take English words out of it. Then they tried to make it sound more Northern European due to the language bans. If there was a name for this language, it is lost now.

      Sandor is probably a ‘romanianisation’ of Xander, being short Alexander.

      In German there is a word, but no one uses it. It's "sitt" as opposed to "satt", which means "fed up". That made me wonder, do you have in English a word, you use for "satt"?

      Evan Pangaribuan The names for Eastern European countries entered the Persian language through Ottoman Turkish. So we have to look for the root in the Turkish language. Appearantly it comes from an eastern Slavic word for poles: Lyach. Which became Lechia in the Polish language and was rendered as Lehestan by the Ottomans and the term entered various middle eastern languages like Armenian, Kurdish, Persian and etc... through ottoman influence.

    They actually are seas in a loose sense. Just not ones made out of water. At some point in the moon's past molten lava flowed in those spots after some major collision. Now I suppose any solid ground could be described as cooled lava seas, but because the mare are relatively smooth and dark compared to the surrounding areas I think we can make the distinction.
