Equally Ambiguously Gendered Spouse of "What is the Hivemind?"

[Kemrain]

Why? Is there a size limit for threads, or something.

Gob-sincerely wanting to know-lyn

Around 1500 posts, Darkness murders my babies and forces me to make more to challenge his domi.. Err.. To keep the Hive goofiness going!

Well....maybe sidewaysly correct at least . There was not originally a preceding 'A' . There was an 'E' , so at least that part of the etymology was not correct. (Besides, like every single one of the Celtic goddesses had some kind of fertility in her domain).

Well, yes, but there weren't any dictionaries back then - things were spelled how they sounded (or how they were spelled in whatever copy of the Bible they had) in many cases. So it might be the same word.

Because you made Darkness decide to close the thread

I did?! How do you figure? He's had his evil eye on this thread since he killed yours! He's like sharks circling a bleeding fish, he is! Pure Evil.

Heh, go ahead with the new one - come to think of it, I probably should close this one anyway. (I forgot I'm at 50, not 40, posts per page.)

Close it! Close it!

1500? We've got some time left, then.

Hmm...well then why'd you tell those poor saps there was an A

Actually, in the Celtic tongues (at least that have been preserved) the Ae makes a long A sound (like in the word Gaelic), whereas Ey is pronounced a long I (explaining why it later became I).

Celtic prononuciations are pretty tricky though.

1500 > limit, technically speaking.

Unless Darkness decides to get his sadistic kicks and kill it early...

Not that that would be all that bad, man.. I mean.. I can make another, right?

Well, did you see his response to your comment? Its just a bit above us now.

Yup, we haven't reached it either of the last two times yet.
