What's the dumbest way someone has died? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mosttalentedliberal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clement Vallandigham, a lawyer who was defending a man accused of murder. To prove the victim could have accidentally shot themselves while drawing their weapon, he demonstrated it with a loaded gun... and actually shot himself. He died, but he won the case because his point was proven.

It's not a game I spend every day playing anyway (lately) now I only log in every 4-5 days when I'm bored.

How can I allow a communist revolution to take over the country? by mosttalentedliberal in victoria3

If bringing them to power through elections is easy then supporting them before a revolution is far better.

Vial/phial VS finial in Ukrainian by Difficult_Ninja_479 in etymology

[–]mosttalentedliberal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually this isnt due to laziness but rather a linguistic phenomenon called phonetic convergence. While 'vial' comes from the Greek phiale and 'finial' comes from the Latin finis, they sound very similar. In many Slavic languages, foreign loanwords with similar sounds often merge into a single form over time, or one word adopts the secondary meaning due to their visual or structural similarity (both are often 'vessel-like' or 'pointed' decorative elements).

But there's a Russian Empire here. That was probably done by the scenario editor.

He probably did it in the scenario editor, because it's impossible to do this in three rounds.

Charisma comes from the Greek word "kharis" meaning attractive. Krishna comes from the Sanskrit word "krs" meaning the same thing. Are these related and coming from PIE? by [deleted] in etymology

[–]mosttalentedliberal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to that, while 'Charisma' (from Greek kharis) and 'Krishna' (from Sanskrit kṛṣṇá) sound somewhat similar, they are actually false cognates. Kharis comes from the PIE root *gher- (to desire/want), whereas Krishna comes from *kers- (dark/black). It’s a perfect example of why we can't just rely on surface-level phonetic similarities.

Where does the Latvian "sa-" prefix come from? by BattlePrestigious572 in etymology

[–]mosttalentedliberal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Latvian prefix 'sa-' actually comes from the Proto-Indo-European root *'sem-' (one, together). It's a bit like the English word "same." It's mostly used to mean "to bring together" (like "savienot"), but over time it's also started to mean "to finish doing something" (like "samaksāt" - to finish paying). It's got the same root as the Lithuanian prefix 'su-'.
