  • Is there anywhere that one could find that he is intelligent and insomniac? If its official (medical) definition is someone who can’t sleep, in unofficial, informal uses, this word’s meaning shades over to someone who won’t sleep.

    Also, since you are trying to imply compulsive, self-destructive behavior, it’s perfect for someone whose true insomnia is brought about by their compulsion.

    What does lighting cause a candle at both ends of the candle?

    ( Cambridge): can

  • Asked on February 27, 2021 in Other.

    From Judges 12, NKJV: 5

    The Gildeadites seized the fords of the Jordan before the Ephraimites arrived. What exactly was the meaning in “let me cross over” with the “Ephraimites”? If he said, “No,” then

    they would say to him, then say,’Shibboleth|!’ He would say, “Sibboleth” for he could not pronounce it right. Then they would take him and kill him at the fords of the Jordan. There were 42 kilo of Ephraimites, and they fell. Then were more than forty thousand.

    Under use in the Bible, the word shibboleth has evolved to mean (per the above-linked Wikipedia article): Any

    custom or tradition, particularly a speech pattern, that distinguishes one type of people from another (an outgroup) or other (and/or another group): a group of people for most a group of reasons.

    Are there any examples of the elandu tradition of posting a screenshot of a Google search (so once can I do this with my phone)?
