Word: bovinely Part of Speech: adv Etymology: From bovine + -ly. 1. In a bovine manner. Example: […] bovinely occupying herself with church, hospital, Red Cross. I say "bovinely" in the sense of following the herd unquestioningly. That's what all her friends did, with time out for occasional bridge and luncheons. 2. In a bovine manner. Example: Curiosity carries many of the daily tally of loungers to the Battery, idleness many others, laziness and hopelessness most of the rest. For the curious there is the seething activity of the vast port of New York […] The idle find the warm hours pass without irk in the salt breeze and bright sunlight. For the lazy there are benches, for the hopeless the delicious proximity of the all-healing sea, whenever their hopelessness becomes so real as to urge them over the stringpiece—always supposing the meddlesome gentleman in blue, whose duty it is to discourage hopelessness, is not too strongly in evidence. But none of these motives, reasons, whatever term applies, seemed to fit Rupert Whately as he sat, elbows on knees, cane to lips, bovinely watching the poppling water and the busy craft. Stout, full-fed, smooth of skin, dressed like a tailor's model, and not more than thirty years old, looked as if in his college days he might have been a doughty oarsman, footballer, or track man, had he not preferred ease and full fare to Spartan training. What he saw in the scene before his eyes was not apparent to the casual onlooker. Curiosity scarcely fitted him. He looked like a man who had never had to leave any desire ungratified. He was too plump and rosy to wear hopelessness with success, and too indifferent to merit such a term as mere laziness. A forty-thousand-ton steamer sweeping grandly past the Battery brought never a flicker to his eyelids. The onslaught of a mob of shrieking youngsters seeking a rolling ball between his highly polished shoes gave him no concern at all. He looked out over the harbor with the gaze of a man without interest in life, in the world, or in the hereafter. Into his field of vision flashed a white sail, utterly out of place among the belching, bustling monsters of steam and smoke. […] She was a pretty bit of marine life, with her two brown-faced young men struggling with sweep and boat hook to fend her from the wall. Still Whately's bovine indifference remained unshaken.

Word: Chang'an Part of Speech: name Etymology: From the atonal Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the Mandarin pronunciation of Chinese 長安 /长安 (Cháng'ān). Pronunciation: /ˈt͡ʃɑŋˌɑn/, /ˈt͡ʃæŋˌæn/ 1. An ancient capital of various Chinese empires, located within present-day Xi'an. Labels: historical Example: The Chinese government started laying intercity high-speed track in 2005, and today, its network is the longest and most heavily relied upon of any nation’s. Six hours are enough to devour the over 900 miles from Shanghai to Xi’an, the landlocked capital of Shaanxi Province in China’s central northwest, standing on the bones of the imperial city of Chang’an. In the seventh and eighth centuries A.D., this was the center of not only China but the globe — the eastern origin of the trade routes we call the Silk Road and the nexus of a cross-cultural traffic in ideas, technology, art and food that altered the course of history as decisively as the Columbian Exchange eight centuries later. A million people lived within Chang’an’s pounded-earth walls, including travelers and traders from Central, Southeast, South and Northeast Asia and followers of Buddhism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, Nestorian Christianity and Manichaeism. All the while, Shanghai was a mere fishing village, the jittery megapolis of the future not yet a ripple on the face of time. Example: At the height of its prominence during the Tang dynasty (618-907), Xi’an, then known as Chang’an, was one of the world’s largest and most populous cities, although its history actually stretches back more than 6,500 years to the Neolithic period.[…] Since Han dynasty diplomat Zhang Qian blazed a trail westward from Chang’an more than 2,000 years ago, trade and traditions from around the world have flowed along the Silk Road, shaping Xi’an’s uniquely cosmopolitan culture. 2. A district and former county of Xi'an, Shaanxi, China. Example: This aerial photo shows the site of the mud slide in Weiziping Village of Luanzhen Township on the outskirts of Chang’an District, Xi’an of northwest China’s Shaanxi Province 12 August 2023.[…] The landslide occurred on Friday night in Weiziping village in Chang’an district shortly after heavy rains and floods in the province. Two houses in Chang’an were washed away and nearby roads, bridges, power supply facilities were damaged.
Word: Taiye Lake Part of Speech: name Etymology: From the pinyin romanization of the Mandarin Chinese 太液池 (Tàiyèchí) (Tàiyèchí, "Great Flowing Pond"). 1. one of several artificial lakes located in the imperial Chinese gardens of Chang'an and Beijing Example: the emperor and his family live on an island in the Taiye Lake, which is all that remains of the Jin city
Word: Lake Taiye Part of Speech: name 1. Alternative form of Taiye Lake. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: Lake Taiye and Qionghua Island were surrounded by meadows and gardens, suggesting the vastness of the Mongolian plains, represented irregularities, and accordingly, their insertion into the perimeter of the Imperial City caused its walls to be aligned toward the east of the city’s Central Axis. Ever since the Mongol capital was founded, this slight irregularity of the heart of the city has survived unchanged, despite the overall symmetrical layout, which can still be seen in the contemporary metropolis.

Word: yauds Part of Speech: noun 1. plural of yaud Labels: form-of, plural
Word: yaud Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Middle English yald, ȝald. Originally used to mean "mare", then "old mare". From Old Norse jalda (“mare”), from a Uralic language, such as Moksha эльде (elde) or Erzya эльде (elde). This term influenced and was influenced by jade, but is considered etymologically distinct by some references, while others consider the two terms to be variants of one another. 1. A workhorse; an old or worn-out mare. Labels: Northern-England, Scotland Example: "[…]Nay by my faith, if you be so heavy, I will content me with the best of you, and that's the haunch and the nombles, and e'en heave up the rest on the old oak-tree yonder, and come for it with one of the yauds." Example: "[…]Get on, my fine yaud, get on! There is nothing uncanny there."

Example: If the illumination is steadily increased from sub-liminal to super-liminal values, the deeply saturated colour will come out from the blackness. Example: In him you simply have nature's top-notch imitator. He never questions, he never asks why. . . . His brain, the conscious, active, superliminal, is not able to grasp a situation and reason it out. 2. Of, pertaining to, or involving a supposed kind of awareness which is above and beyond the experiential range of normal consciousness. Labels: rare Example: The better we realise these differences, the more averse shall we be to predicting to what depth into our cellular being such perception may be pushed by those artifices of hypnotic trance, automatic writing, &c., which we are only just learning to employ. Who, even now, can maintain that there is any true psychological line of distinction between those processes which happen to rise above the threshold of our ordinary consciousness — which become super-liminal — and those processes which happen to remain sub-liminal throughout our whole bodily life? Example: The psychologist Gustav T. Fechner once introduced the idea of stimuli that are so weak that they are subliminal; they remain below the threshold of our perception and consciousness. Anders suggests that we must consider the opposite also, namely, stimuli that are absolutely too strong to be registered by our perception and imagination, stimuli that are superliminal. These can influence our behavior, passively and actively.
Word: super-liminal Part of Speech: adj 1. Alternative form of superliminal. Labels: alt-of, alternative
Word: sinistromanual Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From sinistro- + manual. Pronunciation: /ˈsɪ.nɪs.tɹəʊˌman.jʊ.əl/, /ˈsɪ.nɪs.tɹoʊˌmæn.jə.wəl/ 1. Left-handed. Labels: not-comparable Example: [T]he artist, probably for the sake of symmetry, makes one right-handed and the other left-handed. The alternative, of course, is that the latter actually was a sinistromanual player of note [of the game of t'ou hu or pitch-pot] and was thus intentionally represented. In any event, we have in this relief a very early Chinese illustration of this phenomenon. Example: In a world where most major medical maladies are readily treated, numerous minor medical conditions which today escape our notice will rise up from obscurity and present themselves annoyingly to our conscious minds, demanding attention. These conditions may be of several kinds. […] Third is minor physical or functional flaws, such as […] handedness (currently ~90% dextromanual, ~10% sinistromanual), […]
Word: sinistromanual Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From sinistro- + manual. Pronunciation: /ˈsɪ.nɪs.tɹəʊˌman.jʊ.əl/, /ˈsɪ.nɪs.tɹoʊˌmæn.jə.wəl/ 1. A person who is left-handed. Labels: rare Example: There are other cautions to be emphasized relating to the acquirement of dextrality by the savage: Nearly all the actions which we now call right-handed were in primeval times to him unknown.
