Default Has anybody here studied

Olmec or Mayan?

I wanted to venture into it, but online stuff is pretty barren. Just boardmail if you have because I can tell the Greek questions excite about two of you. Does anybody know what happened to Chapel Hill?

I wanted to learn to read this.

Does this mean you are finally going to stop self-fellating yourself in front of everyone with your Greek verb conjugation posts?

If you can have your grammar questions answered quickly and for free, wouldn't you indulge?

Solon and AA have been so kind, and I imagine I'll continue to seek their assistance, which kindness hopefully I can return. If you find my requests odd or imbecilic simply read a more enlightened post such as one of your own.

The main thing I've learned by endeavoring to learn Greek, is that the New Testament events probably were secondary renditions of the real thing.

Indulge through boardmail....absolutely.

Indulge publicly....absolutely not.

Unless I wanted everyone else to know about it, in which case I would do it all the time....

Boardmails get deleted, but posts are archived for future review. That is the benefit of a post over a boardmail. I've thought of boardmails, but sometimes I forget the answers, and though the wonders of archive, my answer remains there.

Again, any post you don't like, you don't have to read.

This and the religious studies section is designed for classicists thought. You may disdain classicists but you don't have to play in our ballpark.

Your point about archiving is a fair one. I have noticed that our mailboxes here require a lot of deleting.

I like your posts, so I always read them, even if some of the classicist theory is over my head....such as your recent commentary on sex camels.

Plus, I read most posts without logging in. I often don't know if I have boardmail or not.

If you don't like it, take your sorry ass back to chit-chat and discuss your favorite episode of Real World Road Rules Challenge.

I didn't know you spoke Hebrew. So now I can bombard you with Hebrew questions, dude.

You have resh, vav, mem, mem, and vav often serves to form the "u" vowel, but what is its triliteral root?

It kinda looked like the word for buffalo. Or is it just the word for animal or fowl?
