Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
You got it! Samde Chabrijne, or "Caprine Saturday", means "Witches' Sabbath". I recently learned that the word in Spanish, aquelarre, seems to be derived from a Basque compound of "buck, he-goat" and "meadow".

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
A lot of the basic ideas of the "Witches' Sabbath" show great inspiration from pagan Basque religious customs, particularly the worship of a black goat god (Akerbeltz) and goat (and maybe human) sacrifices, ceremonies conducted in the mountains (where the Basque gods were said to dwell), and the use and make of hallucinogens (which later morphed in medieval imagination into the "witches' brew", and perhaps even the witchy fetishisation of brooms).shimobaatar wrote: ↑14 Nov 2018 00:18You got it!

It's quite fascinating that there are so many parallels with Basque mythology, and yet nowadays we know so little of it compared to the Indo-European mythologies for instance.

Re: Guess the Word in Romlangs
Thank you!
Yeah, that's generally what I've been seeing as I've been trying to read more about the topic. It is indeed fascinating. It's a shame that their customs were demonized, but unfortunately not unexpected.Znex wrote: ↑14 Nov 2018 00:35 A lot of the basic ideas of the "Witches' Sabbath" show great inspiration from pagan Basque religious customs, particularly the worship of a black goat god (Akerbeltz) and goat (and maybe human) sacrifices, ceremonies conducted in the mountains (where the Basque gods were said to dwell), and the use and make of hallucinogens (which later morphed in medieval imagination into the "witches' brew", and perhaps even the witchy fetishisation of brooms).

Does /ʒ/ derive from a velar stop in Classical Latin?
