Dal (also spelt dhal, dahl, or daal) is a Sanskrit term common to many South Asian languages referring to pulses which have been stripped of their outer hulls and split, as well as to the thick, spicy stew prepared therefrom, a mainstay of Indian cuisine. The latter can be seen as a milder cousin of the South Indian sambar. The hulling of a pulse is intended to improve digestibility and palatability, but carries some cost in nutrition by reducing fiber content, not unlike that suffered in the mi ...

Nominal aphasia (also known as anomic aphasia) is a form of aphasia (loss of language capability caused by brain damage) in which the subject has difficulty remembering or recognizing names which the subject should know well. The subject speaks fluently and grammatically and has normal comprehension, and the only deficit is trouble finding appropriate words. Subjects often use circumlocutions (speaking in a roundabout way) in order to express a certain word they cannot find the name for. Sometimes the subject can recall the name when given clues. Sufferers are often frustrated whe ...

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT (said as one word, not as individual letters), is based on functional contextualism. ACT is based on mindfulness and Relational Frame Theory (RFT). ACT differs from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in that ACT concedes that controlling our private events (thoughts, feelings and memories) is not possible. ACT focuses on what we can control: our arms, legs and mouth. ACT teaches us to "just notice", accept and embrace our private events, especially previously unwanted ones. ACT states that language itself can cause human suffering. The ACT algorithm is: Accep ...

Hell is, according to many religious beliefs, a place or a state of painful suffering. The English word 'hell' comes from the Teutonic 'Hel', which originally meant "to cover" and later referred to the goddess of the Norse underworld, Helgardh. Compare Anglo-Saxon helan, Greek kalyptein and Latin celare = "to hide, to cover" (all from IE *kel). In many religions, after death, evildoers either suffer eternally or until they have paid for their bad deeds before reincarnation or redemption. In monotheis ...

Abracadabra is a word used as an incantation, considered by some to be the phrase that is pronounced most universally in other languages without translation. The word is now commonly used as an incantation by stage magicians. In ancient times, however, it was taken much more seriously as an incantation to be used as a cure against fevers and inflammations. The first known mention was in De Medicina Praecepta by Serenus Sammonicus, physician to the Roman emperor Caracalla, who prescribed that the sufferer from the disease wear an amulet containing ...

Shamanism refers to the traditional healing and religious practices of Northern Asia (Siberia) and Mongolia. By extension, the concept of shamanism has been extended in common language to a range of traditional beliefs and practices that involve the ability to diagnose, cure, and sometimes cause human suffering by traversing the axis mundi and forming a special relationship with, or gaining control over, spirits. Shamans have been credited with the ability to control the weather, divination, the interpretation of dreams, astral projection, and traveling to upper and lower worlds.

Double negatives are perfectly correct in Ancient Greek, sometimes expressing an affirmation, sometimes strengthening the negation. With few exceptions, a simple negative (οὐ or μή) following another simple or compound negative (e.g., οὐδείς, no one) results in an affirmation, whereas a compound negative following a simple or compound negative strenghens the negation. οὐδείς οὐκ ἔπασχε τι, no one was not suffering something, i.e., everyone was suffering. μὴ θορυβήσῃ μηδείς, let no one raise an uproar, lit. ...

While being a natural localisation of Classical Arabic due to geographic and historical reasons, as French evolved from Vulgar Latin, Moroccan Arabic is considered as a language of low prestige and suffers from the fact that Arabic is the language of the Quran which serves as a reference.

Although limericks have been written in a great number of different languages, many of these suffer from the fact that the meter of the limerick does not adapt well to such languages as, for example, French or Latin. Good limericks can be written in languages that have a similar natural rhythm to English. The following example is in Icelandic: Þegar líkið er glaseygt, svo glampar í, og í görnum er eitthvað, sem skvampar í, enda nefbroddur rauður -- þá er dóninn ei dauður --< ...

The word boredom first appeared in the English language in the Charles Dickens novel Bleak House, published in 1852, where Dickens wrote of Lady Dedlock's "chronic malady of boredom". Bore, bored, and boring, in the sense used here, all appear somewhat earlier: bore first appears as a generic noun, meaning the malady or experience of boredom, in a letter of the Earl of March in 1766 (the same year also in a letter of G.J. Williams meaning one who suffers from boredom, specifically referr ...

Because modern keyboards do not suffer from the problems of older mechanical keyboards, the QWERTY layout's separation of frequently used letter pairs is no longer strictly necessary. Several alternative keyboard layouts, such as Dvorak Simplified Keyboard arrangement (designed by Drs. August Dvorak and William Dealey and patented in 1936), have been designed to increase a typist's speed and comfort, largely by moving the most common letters to the home row and maximizing hand alternation. The effectiveness of these layouts is disputed, but ...

In Medieval times the whole district around Żejtun, that is, in the southern end of Malta, was known as le Terre di Santa Caterina, ('the lands of Saint Catherine' in Italian, which was the official language in the period). Various new villages were formed from parts of the Parish of Żejtun, such as Ghaxaq and Marsaxlokk, each now being considered as a separate parish. The local militia regiment of Żejtun was one of the first to engage the Turks in the initial stages of the Great Siege of 1565, but the town continued to suffer atta ...

The doctrine of proximate cause is notoriously confusing. The doctrine is phrased in the language of causation, but in most of the cases in which causation is contested, there is not much real dispute that the defendant but-for caused the plaintiff's injury. The doctrine is actually used by judges to limit the scope of the defendant's liability to a subset of the total class of potential plaintiffs who suffered some harm from the defendant's actions. For an understanding of the broader view of causation which proxi ...

A group of tribes who used to live in the Willamette River valley, who spoke a distinct language. Some of the tribes, such as the Yonkalla, pushed as far south as Northern California. The Kalapooian tribes suffered severe losses by epidemic disease in or about 1824, with their numbers never recovering. In the Treaty of Calapooia Creek, Oregon, (November 29, 1854), the Umpqua and Kalapooian tribes of Umpqua Valley ceded their lands to the United States. Their lands were to be held in reserve for them, unless the President should ...
