probably of levantine origin, since some form of the game appears to have been long known in the near east; the origin of the seemingly russian forms biritch, britch, is unknown; an unrecorded turkish form *bir-üç ‘one-three’ (since one hand is exposed and three concealed) was postulated as the source in notes & queries (1969) both of the above games have trumps, which the oed says is a corruption of the word triumph . canasta may well have been invented as recently as the 1940s in montevideo. the oed tells us: from spanish canasta (apparently a1948 denoting both the card game and the set of seven cards of the same rank which players aim to complete), specific use of canasta basket (beginning of the 14th cent.; ultimately < ancient greek κάναστρον : see canister n.), the game being so called on account of the basket which was originally used to hold the undealt and discarded cards. i could go on, but i won’t, you will be relieved to hear. photo credit: graham main/mod, used under this licence . posted in wonderful words | 4 replies ptlc2017 posted on february 23, 2017 by john maidment 2 the 2017 meeting of the phonetics teaching and learning conference will take place at ucl from wednesday 9th until friday 11th august. the call for papers is now open and closes on 20th march 24th april. posted in phonetics | 2 replies hogus again and how(e) posted on february 20, 2017 by john maidment 4 photo credit: tim bekaert. the image is in the public domain. in the light of what follows the idea that the word hogus has a cornish derivation must be abandoned, i think. mr. pengelly refers the name ” hogus,” now applied to the rocky ledge between marazion and the mount, to an old scandinavian derivation, meaning “a rock in or near a wood adjacent to water, and used for sacrificial purposes.” mr. peacock takes exception to this determination on the ground that hogus (in guernsey hougue, french hogue, neo-latin hoga) sometimes denotes a quarriable knoll, of which he gives examples. this is a quote from page 11 of a work entitled the recent geology of cornwall by w.a.e.ussher. it was first published in the geological magazine in 1879. in a sense mr pengelly and mr peacock were both right. mr pengelly’s rather fanciful notion is correct inasmuch as it identifies the word as old scandinavian. mr peacock’s words derive from this, presumably via norman french. the word in question is the old norse haugr , which according to the oed means ‘mound’ or ‘cairn’. it has descendants or cognates in many languages including english, where it turns up as how , howe , hough , or houe . this means ‘a hill’ or ‘a mound’. what you can see in the picture above is maeshowe, a neolithic chambered cairn on mainland orkney. it is mentioned in the orkneyinga saga , where it is called orkhaugr – ‘great tomb’. posted in cornwall and cornish | 4 replies rocks and pasties posted on february 13, 2017 by john maidment 7 last friday we went out to lunch at the godolphin arms hotel in marazion. it’s marked as 5 on the aerial view above. the food, the service and the view were wonderful. unfortunately, the weather was not. from where we sat in the dining room we could see chapel rock (4 above) which stands near the landward end of the causeway from st michael’s mount (3). when we first sat down, the causeway was uncovered, but pretty soon the tide started washing over it. a group of people were messing about on top of chapel rock and suddenly there was a great rush to get off. i reckon that they would have been stranded if they had left it just one minute later. it just goes to show how careful you have to be with the sea and why people are always getting into trouble. before we left, i encountered some rather soggy lads in the gents’ loo trying to get dry. in a post about cornish placenames in 2009 i am afraid i goofed and provided a picture of chapel rock and called it great hogus. great hogus and little hogus are at 2 and 1 respectively in the aerial view. i am still uncertain about the meaning and derivation of the word hogus . there is a cornish word hoggan . here is what the oed has to say under the entry for the word oggy (= ‘pasty’): probably an alteration (see -y suffix6, with loss of initial h-) of cornish hoggan pastry, pie (18th cent.), further etymology uncertain; perhaps a specific use (via a sense ‘lump of dough’) of an otherwise unattested cognate of breton hogenn pile, heap, or perhaps cognate with welsh chwiogen muffin, simnel-cake (15th cent.), of unknown origin. it’s a bit of a jump from hogus to hoggan , but that’s the best i can come up with. photo credit: ordnance survey posted in cornwall and cornish | 7 replies mervyn peake posted on february 1, 2017 by john maidment 2 i have just been re-reading bits of titus groan by mervyn peake. it is not a work noted for comedy, but i came across one sentence which made me laugh out loud: but both the doctor and his sister found that the ladies cora and clarice had not been paying the slightest attention but had been staring at steerpike more in the manner of a wall staring at a man than a man staring at a wall. definitely a “i wish i had written that” sort of sentence. i have searched for a copyright-free picture of peake, but i came up against what you can see in the picture above. the wikipedia entry has a photo of him though. —————————- photo credit:jonathan riley. used under this licence . posted in hero(in)es , uncategorized | 2 replies post navigation ← older posts archives archives select month april 2017 february 2017 january 2017 december 2016 september 2016 july 2016 june 2016 may 2016 april 2016 march 2016 february 2016 january 2016 december 2015 november 2015 september 2015 august 2015 june 2015 may 2015 april 2015 march 2015 february 2015 january 2015 december 2014 november 2014 october 2014 september 2014 august 2014 july 2014 june 2014 may 2014 april 2014 march 2014 february 2014 january 2014 december 2013 november 2013 october 2013 september 2013 august 2013 july 2013 june 2013 may 2013 april 2013 march 2013 february 2013 january 2013 december 2012 november 2012 october 2012 september 2012 august 2012 july 2012 june 2012 may 2012 april 2012 march 2012 february 2012 january 2012 december 2011 november 2011 october 2011 september 2011 august 2011 july 2011 june 2011 may 2011 april 2011 march 2011 february 2011 january 2011 december 2010 november 2010 october 2010 september 2010 august 2010 july 2010 june 2010 may 2010 april 2010 march 2010 february 2010 january 2010 december 2009 november 2009 october 2009 september 2009 august 2009 categories categories select category chess (7) cornwall and cornish (123) crosswords (7) hero(in)es (17) irish (10) languages (67) phonetics (200) rants (37) typos (5) uncategorized (144) wonderful words (88) search the blog search recent comments bruce patterson on paolo conte philip taylor on christmas 2013 philip taylor on terra errata bob on deceptively bonkers robin on cornish place-name pronunciation recent posts the name of the game ptlc2017 hogus again and how(e) rocks and pasties mervyn peake flag counte
