what kind of bead is this? - mpoole - 4th August 2010 We had a bit of discussion about this before. http://www.bajrfed.co.uk/showthread.php?2716-Arch-illustration-hints-and-tips-please!/page3 "Monile is the Latin for necklace, and a bead necklace is monile baccatum. Huzzah!" Haven't done more research on the topic, but will do when I have free time. Also, tomorrow I'll post the Guido references if I can find any to your bead. what kind of bead is this? - trainedchimp - 4th August 2010 I just hope for Uo1's sake that they're not rosary beads... what kind of bead is this? - mpoole - 4th August 2010 :0 No idea, with luck they'll be too old. what kind of bead is this? - Unitof1 - 5th August 2010 Possibly montile is a “necklace” and it should be noted that neck-lace is a composite word but bacca does not really mean bead but fruit or berry or pearl (a pearl translated back to Latin may be a margarita” and be/ware that it might imply a part of the female anatomy) also bacca does seem to be involved in more debouched meanings which do not appear to be objects with a hole which through are strung- hazzrah what kind of bead is this? - mpoole - 6th August 2010 Pearl, perle, perlen are still commonly used to describe any bead, not just oyster-spit. I posted a quote provided to me by an archaeologist, which is all I can do as I am not an expert in dead or even dying languages. Bacca can be as easily berry or seed or anything else that was threaded, sometimes language is a shorthand rather than a rigid thing. As for female anatomy, the term 'spindle whorl' is used by some people I know as slang for calling someone a descriptive but opprobrious name. Sometimes a raven IS like a writing desk, and sometimes it's just a bird. If you have other variations on the theme of what to call something with a hole in it, feel free to offer your versions. what kind of bead is this? - Dinosaur - 6th August 2010 Leaky often covers it :face-approve: what kind of bead is this? - the invisible man - 6th August 2010 Gulf of Mexico? what kind of bead is this? - Dinosaur - 6th August 2010 Ah, so all BP really neaded was some string and a steady hand :face-approve: what kind of bead is this? - mpoole - 6th August 2010 Only if the string comes out somewhere else. It doesn't only have to go in, it has to have an exit somewhere to be a bead. Otherwise it's just a bit of fun. |
