This tale of the Grimmsʼ collection was contributed (in a Low German dialect) by Philipp Otto Runge. His main profession was painting, and he designed a color model using a sphere.…

The article nearly equivocates “Rather Useless” and “unambiguously the worst”. Python3 seems more coherent to me than the article's argument: 1. Python3 plainly distinguishes betwe…

“Max and Moritz” is not Grimm but Wilhelm Busch: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_and_Moritz

No, the pressing issue of the Willy-Nicky telegrams was that Russia had mobilised her troops against Germany. Speaking about the Hague conference while setting troops in motion is …

Regarding the alphabetical order, I think one of the oldest alphabetically organized dictonaries extant is ‘Alphabetical collection of all words’ by Hesýchios¹. In his preface (wr…

What I said is the position held by historical linguists focussing on early Ancient Greek, e.g. Strunk (who wrote the paper about aeolisms that are archaisms), Leumann, Meier-Brügg…

The point at issue I was referring to was yours, not his. I had the passage in mind I quoted; to quote and refer more concisely and precisely perhaps: “But, when they created it [=…

On the other hand, the point at issue was not turgidness or unnaturalness but (emphasis mine): “Likewise, do you translate it into contemporary English or archaic one? Old texts ar…

“robigo”, genitive “robiginis”, feminine.

I, conversely, lack the knowledge to quite get the allusion to a Hallmark card or a Thomas Kincaid painting. I guess that Kincaid paintings are considered subpar by connoisseurs. T…

Yes, but somehow it worked in a not-so-tangible way. Germany for one apparently gave much more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_reparations than it got out of the https:/…

I have heard the opposite: that the United Kingdom was, as a rule, an important ally for the economic policies favoured by Germany and others. E.g., “So far the following EU countr…

Yes, you are right, and the whole story of the laryngeal theory is quite exciting. – Saussureʼs initial evidence was a set of Sanskrit forms; and his argumentation went like: - The…

Thank you, thatʼs it: one of the biggest validations of the methodology for reconstructing languages. – Little nitpicks, if you allow: - Saussure reconstructed only two of the thre…

That doesnʼt add up, because one of the most – arguably the most – irritating hesitations affected the main battle tanks (you have mentioned them, too), and that was long after gas…

Marginal note: This statistic covers only the time span until Feb. 24th, so it doesnʼt comprise Germanyʼs “Biggest Military Aid Package Yet” (ca. 3 Billion) – https://www.nytimes.c…

If that is the point (which is not clear to me from the start of this subthread), it is rather settled: The linked article shows that Germany could get over not buying Russian gas …

Sorry for my unclarity, but I understand the point at issue (of GP and this thread) to be how a prolongation of mutual economic relations with Russia was not justifiable morally, n…

“Eastern Europe has been parroting […] Germany stuck its fingers in its ears” Or perhaps Germany couldnʼt hear them, because their actions spoke louder than their words – a majorit…

A https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windcatcher is electricity-free and the technology seems to have been invented in Iran some millennia ago. (But maybe itʼs not applicable everywhere…

OTOH, why sad? I would have found the info sad if Romanians including the middle class could not afford enough heating and had to shiver in winter, whereas people in Germany lived …

A related hypothesis[1] connects the Tambora eruption in 1815 with the colors of the sky in paintings made in the years thereafter, e.g. “Greifswald im Mondschein” ‘Greifswald in t…
