[stylist] Spiders and snakes and bats....

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi Eve,
Out of curiosity, what got you interested in Cymraig? Did you 
take a class for it or teach yourself? I love languages!

 Sorry, but no.  I speak Cymraeg which is very close to Gaelic.  
As Bridget
says, it is a bitch to spell things.  Samhain is the correct 
spelling.
Sow'in is how it is phonetically pronounced in English.  Nothing 
English
about it though.

 Celtic spelling is a bitch, LOL! Nothing like English.  It 
reminds me a bit
 of Hebrew.

 I am sorry, but I have to make a couple of spelling corrections 
here that
 are bugging me like nails on a chalk board.
 Sem, you have the pronounciation right it seems, but the 
spelling is wrong.
 Samhain and Beltane are Gaelic words and as such are not spelled 
the way we
 would think for English phonetics.  Please get this right.  If 
someone does
 want to look up what you are speaking of so that they could 
learn, they
 will
 have a hard time finding anything with that spelling.
 Thanks
 Hey Bridget, You totally cracked me up and surprised me.  I will 
tell you
 why
 later off list.

 Brigit.  Oh yes that was my point.  That they all do it.  I just 
picked
 an example to illustrate it that wouldn't risk offending anyone.  
LOL.
 I do remember reading the Greek myths during my 4 years of Latin 
in
 high school and being wowed by how many of the myths were in the
 bible, the supposed one true and first word, though the Greek 
myths
 had been written thousands of years prior.  Of course then I was
 already searching, but it stimulated my love of history and need 
to be
 educated.  I liked the pollinating analogy you used.  That's a 
very good
 one, and illustrates well.
