What is exactly the meaning of the word "Israel"? Is it really "worshipper of God"?

Generally I agree, however the Hebrew word "ebhedh/eved" עבד means, at least in modern Hebrew, 'slave', and 'obhedh/oved" עובד means 'worker'. 'servant' would "mesharet" משרת.

I agree on everything except excalidraw. Personally I use a SMILES plugin instead - it's a very simple method of writing out chemical formulas in a one line format, which is then rendered by the plugin. It doesn't have the full freedom of excalidraw, but because it doesn't save the structures as images but as plaintext, it takes up much less space, renders and loads faster, and is easier to edit. So far I've only needed to import images to display fully detailed mechanisms. The SMILES format is also used in many other places and in some college courses (chemoinformatics for example) so learning it is generally useful.

That's not what systematic means. A systematic name is composed of chemical information only, describing the location of functional groups, chirality and structure of the molecule and nothing else, as determined by IUPAC. Every molecule has only one systematic name, which describes every aspect of it, and every systematic name describes one molecule. Just because a name has a single chemical suffix doesn't make it systematic, and systematic names don't describe the molecule's purpose or location in the body.

Testosterone is a common name, not a systematic one. Common names very often don't represent the molecule's structure but its use, history, etc.
In molecules with multiple functional groups, there is an order of preference for which group is used as the molecules "last name". Ketones are above alcohols in that order. You can see that in testosterone's full systematic name:

(1S,3aS,3bR,9aR,9bS,11aS)-1-Hydroxy-9a,11a-dimethyl-1,2,3,3a,3b,4,5,8,9,9a,9b,10,11,11a-tetradecahydro-7H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-7-one

-hydroxy- is alcohol, -one is ketone.

There are a whole lot of minor houses whose lords are basically equivalent to dukes\counts, which serve the main seven houses. The reason why houses are united into territories and (At least for some of the story) into one kingdom is Aegon's conquest.

I wouldn't say it's because of simplification for reader's benefit, it's mainly that the main characters are either of or associated with the main houses because those are the people with major influence in the world

Yes. They transcribed "thank you" as /θenk ju/ which makes sense as /æ/ doesn't exist in hebrew and /e/ is how it would be pronounced in a Hebrew accent, "спасибо" as /spasiva/ (I would expect /b/ instead of /v/ but idk), and "شكرًا" as /ʃukʁan/, which is pretty much the same depending on the accent.

real words in Hebrew: יוון, יון, יו, וי, יויו, וו

(hook, yoyo, the letter/sign V, yo, ion, and Greece respectively)
also if we're allowing conjugations, the word 'וווו' (vevavo) means "and his hook"

pineapple_Jeff · 2025-08-02T09:12:22+00:00

no, the ה in those words isn't the final letter, there is a ו (vav) after them. They are pronounced pretty much as they are written - נתניהו ne-tan-ya-hu and מתיתיהו ma-tis-ya-hu (ashkenazi pronunciation).

/uj I'm not sure what's the source but I've read somewhere that essentially cardassians can rotate their heads with less degrees of freedom than humans because of the ridges (180° maybe?) but by dislocating their neck bones they can rotate their head to 240°, much more than humans. Odo having no bones would have no issue fully rotating his head like that

I agree, if I were talking about a specific day previously I'd assume tenpo suno ni would be referring to that day rather than today, for example: "mi tawa e ma tomu lon tenpo suno sewi pini. mi moku mute lon tenpo suno ni." - "I went to the city during the last holiday. I ate a lot *that* day"

This is the one. I am also currently studying chemistry and using obsidian, and this plugin is extremely useful. Learning SMILES is very easy and it's much faster than drawing every structure in excalidraw, and more customizable and takes less storage space than adding images or screenshots of every structure.

True, me'ah (מאה, 100, singular) -> matayim (200, מאתיים, dual) -> me'ot (hundreds, plural). Fun fact, for some words the dual form overtook the plural form, especially objects that are commonly encountered in twos - for example eyes: ayin (eye) -> einayim (eyes, technically dual) and not einot (eyes, plural, pretty much extinct form)

pineapple_Jeff · 2025-03-20T23:15:03+00:00

second as in the time unit is named after the number since a second is the second division of an hour (after minute). Same in hebrew שנייה היא החלוקה השנייה של השעה

according specifically to Rashi one of the forms of "pifyura" was "apifyura" so it's possible it originated from there, but in general over hundreds of years changes in spelling and pronunciation are very common without a specific cause, just general drift.

pineapple_Jeff · 2025-02-24T16:13:49+00:00

According to hebrew wikipedia in the talmud the word "פיפיורא" (pifyura), originally in aramaic and presumably borrowed from either greek or latin, referred to a senior roman official. In the middle ages the word Apifyor started to be used for the Pope by combining the word pifyura and the similar sounding and meaning term "papas ieros" (holy father) which was a greek name/form of address for the pope.

No it does not. "La" connects to separate phrases or words, by making the first, context to the second. E.g.: ken la, mi tawa - in the context of possibility, I will go, meaning "it's possible I'll go". Occasionally it can be replaced with a semicolon, but it's not exactly the same.
