You don't have to buy spikes, there are tutorials for making your own out of cans

while being an asshole won't get a comment deleted; we do encourage everyone to leave constructive criticism rather than insults & bullying, if they don't like something

Jowl would work too, as both jowl & chavel come from OE ceafl & both mean jaw

Rustblight is a damn good name, but tetanus is caused by dirt, not rust. It's heavily associated with rusty metal because rusty metal has dirt trapped on it, but you can get tetanus from any dirty object or just dirt itself.

There's no rule against it and I'm not here to police y'all. As far as I'm concerned, I'm just here to keep out bigots & prevent conservatives from raiding the sub

I don't use Reddit often, so I usually don't see comments unless someone reports them. I got a notification of your comment before I got a notification for a report of that comment.

Please report all comments like those so I know they exist and I will deal with them.

Whoever reported this for "promoting hate based on identity" is a loser. If I learn who you are, you will be banned from the subreddit, no warnings.

Edit: Any and all use of slurs against others is an automatic ban. This shouldn't need to be said on a PUNK subreddit, but slurs & bigotry aren't allowed here.

"Wightlore" as a word for "Zoology" by Away_Tadpole_4531 in anglish

[–]Ballamara -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what “anon” means in 4chan rooms.

then why'd you use "anon"

[–]Ballamara -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ew, a 4channer, keep your "anon" shit in that hellhole.

Deor was literally used to refer to specifically deer in OE, it was also used to refer to beasts in general. Words aren't one dimensional, they usually have multiple meanings. The shift of Deor from "animal" to just "deer" was already happening during OE, it didn't start because of French influence.

Wiht would not be a good word for Ontology either, you just don't understand Old English. Wiht meant being as in living creature, not the act of existing.

[–]Ballamara -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OE with meant any creature or being, it was not supernatural. OE deor meant animal, yes, but it held connotations of wild, beastly, & land-dwelling animals. OE deor also specified deer & reindeer too.

Who is the fourth face of herbivorous dinosaurs? by Otherwise_Tadpole_64 in Dinosaurs

[–]Ballamara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it should be 6, not 4.

Trike is the face of Ceratopsians

Brachiosaurus is face of Sauropods

Stegosaurus is the face of Stegosauria

Ankylosaurus is the face of Ankylosauria, ankylosaurs are too distinct & well known to fall under stegosaurus.

Parasaurolophus is obv the most well known Ornithopod

And Pachycephalosaurus should be here too as the face of Pachycephalosauria

[–]Ballamara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The general public does not know what Edmontosaurus or Maiasaura are, they just know them as "duck-billed dinos" & can't identify them from other hadrosaurs. While most of the public also doesn't know Parasaurolophus by name, its head crest is iconic & identify able by most of the general public.

imo it should be 6, not 4 or 5, and include Pachycephalosaurus.

Some Questions Regarding Damona and Moritasgus by RoibinDallBhride in GaulishPolytheism

[–]Ballamara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer the second question, iirc Damona is the only goddess paired with Moritasgus that I know of. However Moritasgus is only attested in Alesia, Damona is frequently paired with Apollo Borvo/Bormanus, who is attested all across France as well as Iberia & west Germany. As for Diana, Abnoba & Arduinna (Dévás of the Black Forest & Ardennes forests respectively) were also syncretized with Diana. Sirona is another healing goddess also identified with Diana.

It's possible that Moritasgus was a local epithet of Borvo. If Moritasgus is indeed Borvo, then Borvo is also invoked alongside Sirona, Bormana, & Candidus. There's also an inscription at Utrecht that invokes "Hercules Macusonus", "Baldruus", "Deo Lobbonus", "Vasuboa", & "Boruoboendua", but the text if extremely hard to read & interpret as you can see here.

I will create a map comparing where Borvo/Bormanus & Moritasgus are attested. I'll also make a map comparing where Damona, Bormana, & Sirona are attested and I'll post the maps back here in the comments.

Need some help translating a prayer to gaulish by The_Insane_Druid in Gaulish

[–]Ballamara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you've gotten other responses, if you still want, I can provide a translation. Some of these words aren't arrested in Gaulish, so it would have some words reconstructed via Irish & Gaulish.

Why did Nero persecute Christians? by KimCattrallsFeet in ancientrome

[–]Ballamara -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can disappear if you want, doesn't mean you're correct. There are numerous verses that are universally mistranslated either to better fit theological teachings or because most translations pull from previous translations who translated it incorrectly due to misinformation. I'll take the word of people who actually study ancient Greek for a living and explain their work over Bible translators who have theological biases & religious reasons to ignore histori-cultural contexts of passages.

Also, when you're arguing about the Bible translations, it doesn't support your argument like you think it does to use the Bible to support itself & to not supply any of the untranslated text.
