Honestly, I’m trying very hard not to interpret that “Tree of Life” – in this December school villancico – as a Christmas tree in 1744’s Aragon.

8000 years ago in the remote, boreal landscape of the Siberian taiga, hunter-gatherers built the earliest fortified sites. The development of territoriality and social conflict was not necessarily tied to agriculture.

Spotted on this morning's walk: 'cordwainer', a shoemaker or worker with cordwain leather. You might not guess from its appearance that 'cordwain' has Mediterranean origins – the word comes from the Spanish city of Córdoba.

Ni idea tiene esta persona de la historia del concepto de Colonia en la historia reciente española.

Al margen de las mentiras evidentes, el argumento retardista más absurdo es la critica a la exportación de energía porque eso nos convierte en una "colonia". Es algo que en cualquier otro caso suena a locura: "colonia porcina", "colonia aceitunera", "colonia naranjera"...

Oh! I almost forgot: that ‘l’… what’s not to like in a scribe trying to transcribe [ɺ] between two short vowels?
Why do I prefer ‘Galacian’?
Well, for one, the splitting of that ‘gr’ with some echo epenthesis is pretty rare this south, though common in old Romance borrowings further north:
Lat. ‘crucem’ > Basque ‘gurutze’, “cross”
Lat. ‘aprīlem’ > Basque ‘apiril’, “April”

I mean, he died in 1658 but, technically – due to our (extremely) extended family system –, he was my uncle.
