...another question for the here 😅

Does anyone know anything about the etymology of "takkeherrie"...?

Might be something for a blog, @fonolog and @GastonDorren ?

This Sunday, Selene (Ambaran) and I will play Japanese sea musics on flutes & harps in the manga studio of "Keep In Mind" by Kim Houtzager in Nieuwegein.

Supported by @japanfans & the Japans Cultureel Centrum Utrecht, with artwork by Selene, by Kim and by BudoGirl. 😉

Super proud that my article "The Multilingual Tapestry of King Alfred Fanfiction" was published in Etudes Médiévales Anglaises (ÉMA, ISSN : 0240-8805). 🥳

It's the first scholarly paper for which I translated from several Asian languages, so a personal milestone. With many thanks to my friends from @japanfans and the Japans Cultureel Centrum Utrecht for their help. You make me happy. 🥰

I am curious about the extent to which the Dutch colonization of Taiwan in the 17th century facilitated language contact and exchange, and how it influenced the presence of Dutch loanwords (or even syntactic similarities, and language structures) in contemporary regional Sinitic languages. Are there people / folks living in here who know some Dutch loanwords in their language(s)?

Griaustinio dvelksmas gražina girdinčiųjų sieloms tūkstančius metų, o melodijos lieja kaip upės juostos tarp tėvynės pilkų krantų. Senovės pilys pakyla tarsi sapnuoti pilkapiai ir mūro liekanos liudija apie senųjų laikų didybę.

Tā kā Baltijas melnais mirdzums mudina mūs,
Mežu viju zilumi, meriņi manuš,
Lielsirdīgi līgo, liepkalnu dziesmu līdā,
Lauztas akmens mūra cietoksni sargā.

Estonijas ezera ejoza,
Ej, ej, ej, melodiju peldoza,
Ezeru viļņu viju vijola,
Vijās vijās, vasaras sola.

Lietuviškos liaudies dainos lėkštė
Lėtām melodijām lanko mūsų širdis,
Lietūs lūpos lėtai lieja lūgšanas,
Lietus lūžo lūsēdams liūdnas dainas.

Praeities ambers pērli pītas,
Pēc pilsētas celtas, pakalni līdz šalkam,
Pašlaik priecīgi, plūst pīlādži līkā,
Pavasara pērles palodzes rīkstā.

Baltijas balss, burbuļojoša balāde,
Burkšķ, burkšķ, burkšķ, brīnumaini skan,
Bristošas bākas, baltās briedes,
Baldene vij, bauda baltas balsis.

Kas kā koraļļi krūma kokos,
Kūp kūp kūkšķ, kalnu klinšu lūkots,
Krasta kliedziens kā karaļa kleja,
Klasēm klājas kā kalna kaula celi.

Mūsu flautas mirdz kā mēness miglā,
Muzikālas melodijas mirdzums spīdēs,
Mēness mainās, mākoņi iet,
Mums mūzika mājo mūžīgi sirdīs.

Ритмично русский рекой роняет рифмы,
Рыбари идут, рассказывая романсы,
Радуга разливается на рассветном небе,
Радуйтесь, русалки, русалки морской.

За волной Восточного ветра ведём весну,
Ветви вишни веером вьются в танце,
Вздымается Вилюти на высоких волнах,
Весеннее восстание, вишневый звук.

On this scorching hot day, I saw that my article on cats in Tolkien-inspired fanfiction has been published in LEMBAS (the Journal of the Dutch Tolkien Society)... along with an image of one of the snow cats I made for my exhibition at the Utrecht library earlier this year!

Very nice, thank you very much! 🥰

Last week, I was in Kalamazoo, and edited a short art vlog inspired by this trip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2yUjBfku3c .

@BradRubenstein - aww, thank you! For me, it was really like being in another world/reality, that is why I choose to try out these aesthetics. The next video will be a Q&A on autism, so if you have any questions... please feel free! ;-)
