History
Roushie conquest o the Khanate o Kazan in the 1550s pavit the wey further east which wis nou free frae Tatar depredations (see Yermak Timofeyevich). The first survivin Roushie settlements in the aurie date back tae the late 16t — early 17t centuries (Verkhoturye, 1598; Turinsk, 1600; Irbit, 1633; Alapayevsk, 1639). In the 18t an 19t centuries the aurie became the industrial hertland o Roushie due tae its rich deposits o iron an coal (see abuin). In the 1930s mony industrial enterprises wur established an biggit wi the help o forcit labour. Local industry receivit anither impetus durin the Warld War II whan important producin facilities wur relocatit here frae the European pairt o Roushie tae safeguard them frae the advancin Germans (for ensaumple, IMZ-Ural). In the postwar period hintle o the region wis aff-leemits tae foreigners an it wis ower Sverdlovsk that the American pilot Gary Powers wis shot doun on 1 Mey 1960, while on a reconnaissance mission. Anither historic event that teuk place in Yekaterinburg wis the execution o Nicholas II o Roushie an the Imperial family in Julie 1918.

The Legislative Assembly consists o the Oblast Duma, the lawer hoose, an the Hoose o Representatives, the upper hoose.

P
P (named pee ) is the saxteent letter o the ISO basic Latin alphabet.
Uisage
In Inglis an maist ither European leids, P is a voiceless bilabial plosive. Baith ineetial an final ‹p›s can be combined wi mony ither discrete consonants in Inglis wirds. A common example o assimilation is the tendency o prefixes endin in ‹n› tae assume an ‹m› soond afore ‹p›s (such as: in + pulse → impulse — see: Leet o Latin wirds wi Inglis derivatives).
A common digraph in Inglis is ‹ph›, which represents the voiceless labiodental fricative, an can be uised tae transleeterate Phi (‹φ›) in loanwords frae Greek. In German, the digraph ‹pf› is common, representin a labial affricate o.
Arabic speakers are uisually unaccustomed tae pronooncin ; thay pronoonce it as. In wirds that Arabic inheritit frae the Proto-Semitic leid, is uisually pronoonced.
Maist Inglis wirds beginnin wi P are o foreign origin, primarily French, Latin, Greek, an Slavic; thir leids preserve Proto-Indo-European initial /*p/. Native Inglis cognates o sic wirds eften stairt wi F, syne Inglis is a Germanic leid an sicweys haes unnergone Grimm's law; a native Inglis wird wi initial /p/ wad reflect Proto-Indo-European ineetial /*b/, which is sae rare that its existence as a phoneme is disputit.
Houiver, native Inglish wirds wi non-initial P are quite common; sic wirds can come frae aither Kluge's law or the sp combination; PIE /*p/ is preserved efter s.

Centro, Montevideo
Centro is the inner ceety barrio (neebourheid or destrict) o Montevideo, Uruguay. Its main avenue is 18 de Julio Avenue. It is delimitit bi La Paz Str. tae the North, Florida Str. (North o 18 de julio Av.) an Andes Str. (Sooth o 18 de Julio Av.) tae the Wast, Canelones Str. tae the Sooth an Barrios Amorin Str. tae the East.
History
Acause o the militar oreegins o Montevideo, it haed been forbidden tae build onything permanent in the aurie ootside the waws o the ceety up tae the time that Uruguay gained unthirldom. That aurie wis cried Campo de Marte or ejido (common). Aroond 1750, the colonial Gobernación Política y Militar de Montevideo traced the limits o the forbidden aurie at "a canonbaw's reach" frae the ceety's fortifications bi a line or "cordón". Eventually, Cordón became the name o the aurie ootside the Campo de Marte.
In 1829, fower years efter the declaration o unthirldom, the Naitional Assembly decidit tae pull doun the fortifications o the Ciudad Vieja an extend the ceety tae fuirm the "Ciudad Nueva". At the time, the population o Montevideo wis aroond 14,000. The plans for some addeetional 160 ceety blocks wur drawn bi militar engineer Don José María Reyes. That extension is the actual barrio o Centro. The plans includit a new square, which in 1840 teuk on the name Plaza Cagancha, while the names o the streets wur gien bi Andrés Lamas frae 1843 on. The development o this aurie wis vera slow due tae the "Guerra Grande" o 1839-1852. In 1867 a pillar wi the Statue o Peace (La Paz) wis erectit in the centre o Plaza Cagancha.

Q
Q (named cue ) is the seventeent letter o the ISO basic Latin alphabet.
History
The Semitic soond value o Qôp (aiblins oreeginally qaw, "cord o wool", an possibly based on an Egyptian hieroglyph) wis (voiceless uvular stop), a soond common tae Semitic leids, but nae foond in Inglis or maist Indo-European anes. In Greek, this sign as Qoppa probably came tae represent several labialized velar stops, amang them  an. As a result o later soond shifts, thir soonds in Greek chynged tae an  respectively. Tharefore, Qoppa wis transfairmed intae twa letters: Qoppa, which stuid for a nummer anly, an Phi Φ which stuid for the aspiratit soond that came tae be pronoonced  in Modren Greek.
In the earliest Latin inscriptions, the letters C, K an Q wur aw uised tae represent the twa soonds an, which wur nae differentiatit in writin. O thir, Q wis uised afore a roondit vowel (e.g. ⟨EQO⟩ 'ego'), K afore /a/, an C elsewhaur. Later, the uise o C (an its variant G) replaced maist uisages o K an Q: Q survivit anly tae represent /k/ when immediately follaeed bi a /w/ soond. The Etruscans uised Q in conjunction wi V tae represent

Freyja
In Norse meethologie, Freyja (Auld Norse the "Lady") is a goddess associatit wi luve, brawnie, fertility, gowd, seiðr, war, an daith. Freyja is the awner o the necklace Brísingamen, rides a chariot pulled bi twa cats, awns the boar Hildisvíni, possesses a cloak o falcon feathers, an, bi her husband Óðr, is the mither o twa dochters, Hnoss an Gersemi. Alang wi her brither Freyr (Auld Norse the "Lord"), her faither Njörðr, an her mither (Njörðr's sister, unnamed in soorces), she is a member o the Vanir. Stemmin frae Auld Norse Freyja, modren forms o the name include Freya, Frejya, Freyia, Frøya, Frøjya, an Freia.
Freyja rules ower her heivenly efterlife field Fólkvangr an thare receives hauf o those that dee in battle, whareas the ither hauf go tae the god Odin's haw, Valhalla. Athin Fólkvangr is her haw, Sessrúmnir. Freyja assists ither deities bi allouin thaim tae uise her feathered cloak, is invokit in matters o fertility an luve, an is frequently soucht efter bi pouerful jötnar who wish tae mak her thair wife. Freyja's husband, the god Óðr, is frequently absent. She cries tears o reid gowd for him, an searches for him unner assumit names. Freyja haes numerous names, includin Gefn, Hörn, Mardöll, Sýr, Valfreyja, an Vanadís.
Freyja is attestit in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13t century frae earlier tradeetional soorces; in the Prose Edda an Heimskringla, baith written bi Snorri Sturluson in the 13t century; in several Sagas o Icelanders; in the short story Sörla þáttr; in the poetry o skalds; an intae the modren age in Scandinavie fowklear, as well as the name for Friday in mony Germanic leids.
Scholars hae theorisit aboot whether or no Freyja an the goddess Frigg ultimately stem frae a single goddess common amang the Germanic fowks; aboot her connection tae the valkyries, female battlefield chuisers o the slain; an her relation tae ither goddesses an figurs in Germanic meethologie, includin the thrice-burnt an thrice-reborn Gullveig/Heiðr, the goddesses Gefjon, Skaði, Þorgerðr Hölgabrúðr an Irpa, Menglöð, an the 1st century CE "Isis" o the Suebi. Freyja's name appears in numerous place names in Scandinavie, wi a heich concentration in soothren Swaden. Various plants in Scandinavie ance bore her name, but it wis replacit wi the name o the Virgin Mary durin the process o Christianisation. Landwart Scandinavies continued tae acknawledge Freyja as a supernatural figur intae the 19t century, an Freyja haes inspired various wirks o airt.
Etymologie
The name Freyja is in fact a teetle meanin "lady", frae Proto-Germanic *frawjōn, cognate wi Wast Frisie frou, Dutch vrouw, Law German Fro, Fru, German Frau. The theonym Freyja wis sicweys an epithet in oreegin, replacin a personal name that is nou unattestit. The connection wi an possible earlier identification o Freyja wi Frigg in the Proto-Germanic period (Frigg an Freyja oreegin hypothesis) is a matter o scholarly debate.
Lik the name o the group o gods tae which Freyja belangs, the Vanir, the name Freyja is no attestit ootside o Scandinavie, as opposed tae the name o the goddess Frigg, who is attestit as a goddess common amang aw Germanic fowks, an whose name is reconstructit as Proto-Germanic *Frijjō. Proof for the existence o a common Germanic goddess ance kent as *Fraujon daes no exist, but scholars hae commentit that this mey simply be due tae lack o evidence.
Caumel
A caumel is an even-taed ungulate within the genus Camelus, bearin distinctive fatty deposits kent as "humps" on its back.
Freyja
Etymologie
Regardin a Freyja-Frigg oreegin hypothesis, scholar Stephan Grundy comments that "the problem o whether Frigg or Freyja mey hae been a single goddess oreeginally is a difficult ane, made mair so bi the scantiness o pre-Viking Age references tae Germanic goddesses, an the diverse quality o the sources. The best that can be done is tae survey the arguments for an against their identity, an tae see hou well each can be supportit."
Bride o the Odr
Freyja marriet a god cried Óðr. She deeply loves her husband, but he aften went awa on lang journeys, an Freyja cried reid gowden tears for him. Her tears acome gowd an lammer whan thay fawl tae the Yird, tharefore gowd wis cried "Freyja's tears". Thay hae twa bonnie docters cried Hnoss an Gersemi.
Awner o the Gib-Cats an Brisingamen
Freyja haes a precious necklace cried Brisingamen (Jewelry o Fire). The god Loki ance stole this necklace, an Freyja haed tae ask the god Heimdall for help. Heimdall wan the fecht wi Loki an gae the necklace back tae Freyja. For this, Loki is cried "Thief o Brisingamen", an Heimdall is cried "Seeker o Brisingamen".
Whan Thrymr, the Keeng o the frost giants, tauld Loki tae ask Freyja tae acome his wife, the goddess wis sae angry that heiven wis shaken, an the necklace Brisingamen broke. The god Thor later borraeed the necklace an came tae the weddin, dressed up as Freyja. Thor killed Thrymr an aw his relatives.
Efter Ragnarok
In feenal battle o Ragnarok, Odin, Njord, an Freyr aw dee'd. Freyja alane remained amang the gods, an she continued the sacrifices.
Relation tae ither goddesses an figurs
In the Poetic Edda poem Völuspá, a figur bi the name o Gullveig is burnt three times yet is three times reborn. Efter her third rebirth, she is kent as Heiðr. This event is generally acceptit as precipitatin the Æsir-Vanir War. Stairtin wi scholar Gabriel Turville-Petre, scholars sic as Rudolf Simek, Andy Orchard, an John Lindow hae theorisit that Gullveig/Heiðr is the same figur as Freyja, an that her involvement wi the Æsir somehou led tae the events o the Æsir-Vanir War.
Ootside o theories connectin Freyja wi the goddess Frigg (see etymologie section abuin), some scholars, sic Hilda Ellis Davidson an Britt-Mari Näsström, hae theorisit that ither goddesses in Norse meethologie, sic as Gefjon, Gerðr, an Skaði, mey be forms o Freyja in different roles an/or ages.
Receiver o the slain
Freyja an her afterlife field Fólkvangr, whaur she receives hauf o the slain, haes been theorisit as connectit tae the valkyries. Scholar Britt-Mari Näsström pynts oot the description in Gylfaginning whaur it is said o Freyja that "whainiver she rides intae battle she taks hauf o the slain," an interprets Fólkvangr as "the field o the Warriors". Näsström notes that, juist lik Odin, Freyja receives slain heroes who hae dee'd on the battlefield, an that her hoose is Sessrumnir (which she translates as "filled wi mony seats"), a dwellin that Näsström posits likely fills the same function as Valhalla.
Modren influence
The 19t century German composer Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen opera cycle featurs Freia, the goddess Freyja combined wi the aiple-bearin goddess Iðunn.
In late 19t century an early 20t century Northren Europe, Freyja wis the subject o numerous wirks o airt, includin Freyja bi H. E. Freund (statue, 1821–1822), Freja sökande sin make (pentin, 1852) bi Nils Blommér, Freyjas Aufnahme uner den Göttern (charcoal drawin, 1881) an Frigg; Freyja (drawin, 1883) bi Karl Ehrenberg, Freyja (1901) bi Carl Emil Doepler d. J., an Freyja and the Brisingamen bi J. Doyle Penrose (pentin, 1862–1932).
Vanadís, ane o Freyja's names, is the soorce o the name o the chemical element vanadium, sae namit acause o its mony coloured compoonds.

Lift
The lift is the pairt o the atmosphere or o ooter space veesible frae the surface o ony astronomical object. It is haurd tae define preceese for mony a raison. In daylicht, the lift o the Yird haes the cast o a deep blue surface acause o the air's spairgin o sunlicht. The lift is whiles defined as the denser gaseous pairts o a planet's atmosphere. At nicht, the lift haes the cast o a black surface or region spelfert wi starns.

In Orkney, a sib beastie wis cried the Nuggle, an in Shetland a sib beastie wis cried the Shoopiltee. Ye'll find it in Scandinavie fowklair an aw. In Swaden it's kent bi the name Bäckahästen, the burnie horse. In Norrowey it's cried nøkken, whaur it aft uises the horse shape, but is no it's true shape.
Historie an Mythologie
In Scots fowklair, a kelpie wad wyle fowk ontil its rig an then douk intil a deep loch tae cantriplie saunt. A kelpie's helter cuid wark cantrips gin it wis stealt. On the ither haund, a human helter on a kelpie cuid garr it tae wark fir a body.

O
O (named o, plural oes) is the fifteent letter an a vowel in the ISO basic Latin alphabet.
History
Its graphic fairm haes an aa remained fairly constant frae Phoenician times till the day. The name o the Phoenician letter wis ʿeyn, meanin "eye", an indeed its shape oreeginates simply as a drawin o a human ee (possibly inspired bi the correspondin Egyptian hieroglyph, c.f. Proto-Sinaitic script). Its oreeginal soond value wis that o a consonant, probably, the soond representit bi the cognate  Arabic letter letter ع|ع ʿayn.
Yegheg

O
History
The uise o this Phoenician letter for a vowel soond is due tae the early Greek alphabets, which adoptit the letter as O "omicron" tae represent the vowel. The letter wis adoptit wi this value in the Auld Italic alphabets, includin the early Latin alphabet. In Greek, a variation o the fairm later came tae distinguish this lang soond (Omega, meanin "large O") frae the short o (Omicron, meanin "smaa o"). Greek omicron gae rise tae the correspondin Cyrillic letter O an the early Italic letter tae runic runic ᛟ.
Even alphabets constructit "frae scratch", i.e. nae derived frae Semitic, uisually hae seemilar fairms tae represent this soond, e.g.; the creators o the Afaka an Ol Chiki scripts, each inventit in different pairts o the warld in the last century, baith attributit thair vowels for 'O' tae the shape o the mooth when makin this soond.
