...That you, Rory? Welcome back to the blog, if so.<br /><br />The moniker "Ligament" began when I wanted to refer to my lady friend as "A Certain Lady." That got abbreviated to "ACL," at which point I noticed that "ACL" also happened to stand for "anterior cruciate ligament," which I injured during my 600-mile walk in 2008. From there, it was a short step to referring to A Certain Lady simply as "Ligament."Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-44266697509327378022015-11-27T18:30:18.228+09:002015-11-27T18:30:18.228+09:00Ligament?

The parallel Old English word "beorg" developed into the Modern English "barrow"; "dwarf" was an irregular development. But it does shed light on why Tolkien rendered Khazad-dum as "Dwarrowdelf" in the Common Speech. That was something I always wondered about. I figured there had to be a good reason.)Charleshttp://www.liminality.orgnoreply@blogger.com
