When we see appended to the genus or species name some English words (not Latin) with single quotes around them as in Genus species 'English Words' it tells us that the plant is a named hybrid or cultivar (cv.). For these names Latin is not allowable. Sometimes they are formally described by botanists in prestigious journals (e.g. Tavarorbea 'Red Leopard' by Dr.

This is a very "loaded" question. It was addressed elaborately using Monier William's dictionary explanation. Due to the length of the message it is kept in a separate file and is linked here. Again, such questions sometimes require considerable searching, so we recommend that they be addressed to forums: sanskrit-digest, indology (see groups.yahoo.com for rejuvenated group), advaita-L, ambaa-L, dvaita, and alt.hindu (newsgroup not active any more).

Pine Waves is the English translation, that tries to give an idea, of what the original idea the Japanese kanji give: the sound that is produced by the pine needles when the wind blows through them, a sort of wave sound (listen well the next time you are in a pine forest, with wind).

The Sho character is taken from the word matsu which means pine tree. To is the character for waves. Pine Wave is the sound that pine trees make when the wind blows through their needles.

It means the "Dam." As an example; the written phrase "Presa Cuchillo" literally translated means "The Dam of Cuchillo."

You can't. Japanese is a completely different language with no similarities to English. The grammar, alphabet, vocabulary, etc. is all different. Many people think an online translator, like BabelFish, will do the trick. Truth is, machine translations such as that make absolutely no sense. The only way to "convert" English to Japanese, or visa versa, is to be fluent in both languages and translate between the two (not an easy task) or find someone to do it for you.

A21. Not many, but there are one or two. One is silhouette, which has a very interesting history. The English word is taken from French, in which it derives from the surname of a certain Etienne de Silhouette, a French politician of the 18th century. This is a French spelling of the Basque surname Zilhueta, a French Basque variant of the surname Zulueta or Zuloeta; this in turn derives from zulo 'hole' (zilo in part of the north) plus the very frequent suffix -eta 'abundance of'.

To a certain extent this is taken into account while developing the phonetic patterns of Dutch (and other languages). Often, wordlists contain a large number of "foreign" words. However, suggestions will be different when different phonetic patterns, i.e., languages, are selected. The phonetic patterns will differ for each language. In general, native speakers of a language will make different mistakes than second, or even third language users.

No. Although all the intermediate words the program finds will be correctly spelled English words, your starting and ending words can be any collection of characters. A particularly satisfying example (for me) is that I can start with the word "Sarang" (my first name), and morph it into quite a few different things (partly because "Sarang" morphs into "sprang" and then sprang morphs into quite a few other things).
