Talk:Alignment (role-playing games)

message: I don't want to do anything rash, but it seems to me that this article consists of a not-entirely-helpful hodgepodge of alignment systems (D&D and D&D-like) alongside treatments of the moral and ethical commitments of characters in other role-playing games. The article I would like to see - which I am willing to write at some point - would reorganize the material as a spectrum so that D&D-style alignment systems are contrasted with GURPS and other point-build "disadvantage" systems and with Unknown Armies or GUMSHOE-style drive systems.

Talk:Prussia (region)

message: I first thought this should be merged with East Prussia... I see now that apparently this article is about a geographically indentical area, but under Polish rule. As such it covers the history of the area from the 15th century until 1660.
Excuse me, but I think this kind of split-up without giving context is rubbish. I will try to amend the article by placing it in context: I'll give it an introductory paragraph, and in the paragraph mentioning the post-1660 history, I'll add a link to East Prussia. And I'll check what it says in East Prussia about the earlier history; probably I'll add a link there to this article. Lupo 07:27, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Horites

message: It is essential to trace the Kushite antecedents of the Horites. The Kushite empire ran the extent of the Nile and included Egypt, Sudan, Nubia and the Horn of Africa. The word Horite is evidently related to Khar, a unit of measurement used in trade. We find a linguistic connection to the Nilotic languages.
The word is related to gur. In Akkadian "gurguri" means metalworkers or copper smiths. In Oromo gurguru means to sell (gurgurtaa = sale; gurguraa = seller). In Somali gur- means to collect something. Gurgure literally means one who collects and keeps collecting. Gur also means to be left handed. The Gurgure clan of the Dir refers to traders or one who collects wares and resales them. This describes the Horites who lived in Edom and were involved in the spice and perfume trade. They were also metal workers and scribes.

message: A wiser approach to Horites would be to build on what is said in Genesis 36. I think there is more material on Horites in the later Book of Jubilees too. The Jewish Encyclopedia is always sound scholarship. Seir, whether as imagined "patriarch" or the land itself, is a good example of the Hebrew ethnology, which expresses as genealogy the contemporary traditions of how tribal groups were related. Has any archaeological material been securely identified as "Horite"? If so, it should be mentioned. Then speculative associations with Egyptian tribal designations might be brought in.
