Mother - Horse - Hemp
"In Mandarin, ma can mean mother, horse, or hemp" (depending on pitch) says Steve Silberman in The Key to Genius (Wired Magazine, 12/2003, Issue 11.12).
Reading that in the NHNE News today (that's New Heaven, New Earth), I had to record this interesting fact somewhere, for some reason. Maybe it's because I'm an armchair linguist, or because of my former active relationship with hemp and my continuing cogitation/intuition about its role in primal spiritual life.
It's like my fascination with the fact that moon, month, mind, measure and menses are linguistically related in many languages (hmmm, maybe just IndoEuropean languages?).
Enough for this morning, More later I'm sure.
