Word: St. Cuthbert's beads Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Named after Cuthbert, the apostle of Northumbria (635-687). 1. The perforated joints of encrinites found on Lindisfarne. Labels: plural, plural-only
Word: Lindisfarne Part of Speech: name Etymology: Uncertain (but cf. Farne Islands). From Old English Lindisfarena. It is thought the first element refers to the Lindsey area of Lincolnshire (from Old English Lindesēġe). The second element -farne may be from Old English farena, genitive plural of fara (“traveller”). Thus a plausible translation of the full name would be, "island of the travellers to and from Lindsey". Coates argued for an Old Irish origin with from fearann (“territory”), with the first part being Old Irish lind (“lake”) + -as; perhaps based on an equivalent Proto-Brythonic formation. Pronunciation: /ˈlɪndɪsfɑːn/, /ˈlɪndɪsfɑɹn/ 1.

The relationship between consorts. Labels: India, uncountable Example: Nowhere in the Vaisnava artistic tradition does one find the kind of representation of divine consortism that occurs in the Śaiva tradition, and based on this alone it is possible to assert that divine consortism in the Vaisnava tradition does not reflect the praka-śavimarśa aspect of consciousness which is a central feature of Śiva-Śakti art. Example: The consortism of Śiva and Pārvatī is a perfect artistic model of Kāśmīr Śaivism which ultimately leads to the ānanda of aesthetic realisatiton.
