"Your stuff plus our stuff is OUR STUFF! YAAAARRR!"

Actually it's just regular math, more or less. Oh well.

I read, "Saxon Maith"...

Máire said...

(That's "good Saxon," for those of you who don't speak a Gaelic language.)
(What's "maith" in Manx?? I'm blanking out. I know I've seen it.)

Wes said...

Manx for good is "mie", pronounced like English "my". ... but you won't find it in the Wiktionary.

Brain said...

What's Manx for "Wiktionary"?

Wes said...

That would be either "Wikileyr" or "Wikifockleyr"
haHAH! Thought you'd get away, didn't ya?!
...and it doesn't have a tail!

Máire said...

"Wikibook" or "wiki-worder?" Cute!
(No tail! Ho ho! Took me a moment.)

Wes said...

"Fockleyr" beez Manx for dikshonary.
ala "Foclóir".

Máire said...

Oh I know! Never fear. I was just playing with how to break it down further, for fun and for the NGS* people who stop by. "focl-" word + agentive ending "-oir" = FUN! No, seriously, it's fun.
