I don't know what surprises me most: That there is such a thing as a pornography valuation expert, or that she is woman. I wonder what her doctorate is in.

Edit: I looked it up, and apparently she is the director of the largest sex museum in the world.

Yeah I know but it was just funny that we were expected to go "why aren't these two phrases equal?!"

But isn't the answer just that hard consonants have more impact? "Fond shore hand shore", unless you perfectly enunciate the D sound, is all soft sounds. Your examples have K sounds that you can't slur past.

Tangentially, you would expect R to be a pirate's favorite letter, but no, his first love be the C.

Tangentially is not where I would expect r.

just some ancient sorcerer from the court of some obscure king and there's no way he'll ever understand that he just summoned the universal consciousness using a name from e's former biological configuration which e ended much emotional and physical torment for erself and all conscious life by shedding forever and anyhow that's why everyone is screaming and hovering sacs of flesh are eating everyone.

Necronomicon is meant to translate from Latin to "the Book of Dead Names." I'll let the thread take it from there.

quote:

Lovecraft wrote that the title, as translated from the Greek language, meant "an image of the law of the dead", compounded respectively from νεκρός nekros "dead", νόμος nomos "law", and εἰκών eikon "image".

quote:

How Lovecraft conceived the name Necronomicon is not clear—Lovecraft said that the title came to him in a dream.[4] Although some have suggested that Lovecraft was influenced primarily by Robert W. Chambers' collection of short stories The King in Yellow, which centers on a mysterious and disturbing play in book form, Lovecraft is not believed to have read that work until 1927.[5]

Lovecraft wrote[7] that the title, as translated from the Greek language, meant "an image of the law of the dead", compounded respectively from νεκρός nekros "dead", νόμος nomos "law", and εἰκών eikon "image".[8] Robert M. Price notes that the title has been variously translated by others as "Book of the names of the dead", "Book of the laws of the dead", "Book of dead names" and "Knower of the laws of the dead".[citation needed] S. T. Joshi states that Lovecraft's own etymology is "almost entirely unsound. The last portion of it is particularly erroneous, since -ikon is nothing more than a neuter adjectival suffix and has nothing to do with eikõn (image)." Joshi translates the title as "Book considering (or classifying) the dead."[9]

Actually it's incredibly cursed and a book of dead names.

I'm pretty sure Lovecraft just thought it sounded cool and spooky, and he was right.

The authors name is pure gibberish. The only part of Lovecraft Country i really enjoyed had a few lines about it.
