Word: Bosnia and Herzegovinan Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From Bosnia and Herzegovina + -an. 1. Alternative form of Bosnia and Herzegovinian. Labels: alt-of, alternative, not-comparable Example: The unhappy condition of the Bosnia and Herzegovinan Christians is caused in great measure by the nature of the relations subsisting between the rural population and the land owners. Agrarian difficulties have always had a peculiarly bitter character in the countries where the landlord class differs, either in religion, or nationality, from the bulk of the labourers. Example: Despite the prohibition on discrimination against women in the GFA, the prospects for effective attainment of women’s legal rights remain weak. Factors related to the unlikeliness attaining this goal include inadequacies within existing human rights law and to the particular situation of women within Bosnia and Herzegovina. Experience elsewhere shows that women’s human rights are rarely given sufficient national priority or resources. Without attention to these problems, the guarantees of the GFA are unlikely to have a positive impact upon women’s lives in the reconstruction of Bosnia and Herzegovinan society.
Word: Bosnia and Herzegovinan Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Bosnia and Herzegovina + -an. 1. Alternative form of Bosnia and Herzegovinian. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: The Europeans would like to get the Americans involved in this matter, but Washington refuses to make the same mistakes as her European colleagues unless of course, as with the Kuwait issue, her interests are at stake. Furthermore, unlike other minorities, the Bosnia and Herzegovinans residing in the U.S. and Europe are a relatively small group and have no influence over the heads of Washington, London and Paris. Example: The reality is we have had a failed policy there, from the U.S. standpoint, but more so from the allies and the multilateral standpoint. We have not succeeded in bringing the Serbs, Bosnian Serbs to the table with any credibility, with any willingness to enter into a peace accord where they do not end up with 70 percent of someone else’s country. And this accord that the contact group put together July 6 is no great accord. They end up with 49 percent of someone else’s country. And that someone else is the Bosnia and Herzegovinans who want to defend themselves.

Word: Bosnia-Herzegovinan Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From Bosnia-Herzegovina + -an. 1. Alternative form of Bosnia and Herzegovinian. Labels: alt-of, alternative, not-comparable Example: A Bosnia-Herzegovinan official -- this year's Haile Selassie -- says that if the world intervened to escort relief to starving, persecuted Kurds, why not Bosnians? "We are real people, too." Example: Indeed, dear reader, leavened hamburgers. “And,” said Jasenka, a Bosnian Muslim, “there is also the secret weapon.” At which point, Veljko, a Serbian Serb, placed a bag of Vegeta on the counter in front of me. “Its’^([sic]) like Mrs. Dash,” he said, “but way better.” I inspected the bag, noting that this Serbian/Bosnia-Herzegovinan specialty is made in Croatia. It has carrot, celery, and onion powder; salt, pepper, and MSG.
Word: Bosnia-Herzegovinan Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Bosnia-Herzegovina + -an. 1. Alternative form of Bosnia and Herzegovinian. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: A couple of years ago, the Bosnian parliament spent a week debating whether the front page of the passport that all Bosnia-Herzegovinans carry should list the ethnic entity they come from, and if so, how high the lettering for that line should be. Example: The ideal formulated above provides the larger framework for understanding the ways of the transnational parliament. Its spatial shape varies, with some communities better represented than others as a result of size, wealth, or proximity to the homeland territory. The transnational Croatian parliament presents a singular case, differing from Italy and France in that Bosnia-Herzegovinans constitute the totality of diaspora representatives, while the EU and North America house a large Croatian diaspora but remain completely absent from Parliament.
Word: Bosnia-Herzegovinans Part of Speech: noun 1. plural of Bosnia-Herzegovinan Labels: form-of, plural
Word: Bosnia-Herzegovinian Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From Bosnia-Herzegovina + -ian. 1. Alternative form of Bosnia and Herzegovinian. Labels: alt-of, alternative, not-comparable Example: Some leaders in Southern California’s Croatian and Bosnia-Herzegovinian communities express doubt that he is the person for the job. Whatever his motives, they say, Panic will ultimately be used by Milosevic, whom they accuse of committing genocide during the battles raging in Bosnia-Herzegovina and earlier attacks in Croatia. Example: What Sarajevans want above all else is to see the aggressor routed. “A necessary evil” is Bosnia-Herzegovinian Defense Minister Jerko Doko’s blunt term for the United Nations’ hard-won airlift. “I wish the airport hadn’t been opened in this way, because it has actually slowed down the liberation of Sarajevo.”
Word: Bosnia-Herzegovinian Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Bosnia-Herzegovina + -ian. 1. Alternative form of Bosnia and Herzegovinian. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: [Agnes] Nixon, who gave the longest and most self-congratulatory acceptance speech at this year's Daytime Emmy Awards, has thrown familiar soap opera elements into this production, which also owes something to gothic novels about women who go into major swoons over swarthy fellows. This is supposed to be a story about the Irish who emigrated to America but, not very deep down, it's really just another excuse for brawling and whoopie. They might as well be Newfoundlanders or Bosnia-Herzegovinians. Example: Since September 11, 2001, the Guantánamo Bay Naval Base has also become notorious worldwide for the initial detention in 2002 of more than 700 men (comprised of more than 40 nationalities, including Afghans, Australians, Bosnia-Herzegovinians, Brits, Kuwaitis, Pakistanis, and US citizens) who were arrested during the US-led military offensive against the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and bordering regions of Pakistan in 2001 and 2002; and who have been defined not as prisoners of war, but rather as “enemy combatants.”

Word: para-IPA Part of Speech: adj 1.

Word: JIPA Part of Speech: name Pronunciation: /ˈdʒaɪpə/ 1. Initialism of Journal of the International Phonetic Association. Labels: abbreviation, alt-of, initialism Example: Only in 1970 when it ceased, in some ways sadly, to be that unique phenomenon a publication entirely in phonetic script, did it acquire its present title of the Journal of the International Phonetic Association, in short JIPA, usually in speech acronymised by English-speakers to /dʒaɪpә/. [...] In his remaining two and a half years as editor of JIPA he only reviewed on two occasions, each time taking a pair of books related in subject matter.
Word: extIPA Part of Speech: name Pronunciation: /ɛkˈstaɪpə/ 1. Abbreviation of Extensions to the International Phonetic Alphabet.

Word: hyperpatient Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From hyper- + patient. 1. Synonym of overpatient. Labels: not-comparable, uncommon, usually Example: Patience is a virtue, but those who are hyperpatient or hypertolerant risk inviting abusers to treat them like a doormat. Example: Other women will find some of the behaviors of mentally ill men similar to those of emotional predators, emotionally unavailable men, addicts, or abusive/violent men they may have dated. These are men who could be diagnosed with a pathological disorder such as antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, or narcissistic personality disorder, or with a chronic disorder such as posttraumatic stress disorder (perhaps related to combat). […] Women who are drawn to these types of men are often women who are themselves thrill seekers, who prefer a high-speed and exciting life, who like the dramatic ups and downs that "keep life interesting," who have a little "edge" to them, or who have their own histories of crime, addiction, or mental-health issues. On the other hand, it isn't totally unusual to find mild-mannered—even passive—women who like these particular "bad boyz." Perhaps it is their way of "taking a walk on the wild side." Looking at your patterns—and determining whether one or both of the adults who raised you were mentally ill—may help you see which type of mentally ill man you are likely to select in the future or have selected in the past. The bottom line is that a mentally ill man must find women who will disregard his disruptive and sometimes pathological behaviors and erratic lifestyle. He needs a woman who is hyperpatient or hypertolerant and who is willing to forego normalcy for him. Alternatively, he will find women who like the chaos and instability wrought by mental illness.

The ultimate tension between these two responses in Vaughan produces not so much a poetry of "either/or"—to adopt Belinda Humfrey's recent phrasing²³—as a poetics of doubling (a head for a head, as it were) in which one form of cleaving shadows or "spells" the other.
