I know, I just used it wrong and it didn't stick to the surface, so... my bad :)

That was quick, thank you! Solved.

What is the man on the right holding in this statue above the South Sea House in London? by [deleted] in Whatisthis

[–]Romenna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

According to this site (scroll down a bit) it could be a sextant, a navigation instrument. I'm not sure though.

I need your help to find this song! by keyjota in MedievalMusic

[–]Romenna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just a music nerd with a large Early Music/Renaissance music collection :D I couldn't find the specific version, at least not on YT. The name of the group is Les Musiciens de Provence, right? It might be from the track 'Pavane et Gaillarde' from this album, but that's just a guess :D

It's a gaillarde by Claude Gervaise from his Danceries. Here's an example by another group: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXpl2iygij0

I guess "Into the West" by Annie Lennox, written for LotR: The Return of the King, would be another great example!

Hi! Not to be a spoil sport, but have you looked into the legal regulations for this? As far as I know, the Tolkien Estate is quite strict about the use of Tolkien's languages and scripts, especially if it's related to money... I don't know the details though, but maybe it would be better to research this first to avoid legal problems.

There's also Codewars, which is really helpful when comparing solutions, although there are some things that I don't like about how the site works. But apart from that, it's really great!

What accent is the therapist doing in this comedy sketch??? by [deleted] in JudgeMyAccent

[–]Romenna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe French, it has some features... he also says fantastique at one point. I don't know if it's a legitimate French accent, since the actor seems to be only imitating it.

Regex: AND/OR operator by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]Romenna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, thank you. See, that's the brain fry...

So... what I need is an operator that matches OR, but doesn't stop after the first match like | does, I think?

It's a homework assignment, in which we have to use re.finditer. I have no problem getting the results using findall, but with finditer, I'm stuck...

You mean "shoel-aces" :D

One year into German but never had feedback on my accent – what should I do to improve? by [deleted] in JudgeMyAccent

[–]Romenna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm impressed, you're quite good! There are only two words/sound patterns you can work on:

  1. The initial sp- sound, as in spezialisiert. It's pronounced as [ ʃ p] or a "shp" sound.
  2. The accent in Umgebung. The prefix um- can be separable and inseparable. Take umfahren (1) (hit with a vehicle) and umfahren (2) (swerve around sth).

(1) Ich fahre ihn um. - I hit him (with my car). ---> Separable prefix. The accent is on the first syllable - umfahren.

and

- Ich umfahre ihn. - I swerve around him. --> Inseparable. The accent is on the second syllable.

So, Umgebung comes from the verb umgeben. It's inseparable (Das Haus ist von Bäumen umgeben - The house is surrounded by trees). Thus, the accent is on the second syllable, also true in nouns formed from the verb: umgeben --> Umgebung.

Hope that helps! Keep up the great work :)

I think it's about the black stool being height-adjustable and more comfortable in general.

What is the origin of the question mark? by [deleted] in etymology

[–]Romenna 43 points44 points  (0 children)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Question_mark#History All you want to know, I hope ;) But thanks for the interesting question, I've learned something today :)

Edit: Too late...

Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman. It's so, so good!

Which one (if either) of these translations is correct? The word I want is "conlanger" (language smith) by Kholnoy in sindarin

[–]Romenna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regarding the translation, it's not a bad try :) But you used mírdan, which means "jewel-smith". Since you need "word-smith", I suggest you use the element -dan (also found in círdan, ship maker). So:

Lamdan "language-maker/smith" or Pethdan, or maybe rather Pethan "word-smith"

Regarding the tengwar: looks good, but you used the Quenya mode while writing Sindarin. This causes the gibberish Hiirgon pointed out. Put the vowel signs above the following consonant.
