Vetus Latina - Latina is a collective name given to the Biblical texts in the Latin language that were translated before St Jerome's Vulgate bible became the standard Bible for Latin-speaking Western Christians. The phrase Vetus Latina is Latin for Old Latin, and the Vetus Latina is sometimes known as the Old Latin Bible. There was no single "Vetus Latina" Bible; there are, instead, a collection of Biblical manuscript texts that bear witness to Latin translations of Biblical passages that preceded Jerome's. To these witnesses of previous translations, many scholars frequently add translations of Biblical passages that appear in the works of the Latin Fathers. As such, many the Vetus Latina "versions" were generally not promulgated in their own right as translations of the Bible to be used in the whole Church; rather, many.
Kate del Castillo - 1980 when she participated in a movie named El Ultimo Escape (The Last Escape). She was catapulted into fame in 1991 when she starred as Leticia in Muchachitas, a soap opera that reached wild popularity all over Latin America. Muchachitas reached the top audience spots in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Peru, and among hispanic audiences in the United States. Among the other soap operas and movies she made are Ramona, and El Derecho de Nacer (The Right to be Born). In 1996, she married soccer player Luis Garcia, who was very famous in his own right and a member of the Mexican national soccer team. Th marriage did not last too long, however. In 2000, she campaigned for President-to-be Vicente Fox, a fact that did not sit well with Televisa leaders..
Karl Felix Halm - and in 1856 director of the royal library and professor in the university. These posts he held till his death. It is chiefly as the editor of Cicero and other Latin prose authors that Halm is known, although in early years he also devoted considerable attention to Greek. After the death of JC Orelli, he joined JG Baiter in the preparation of a revised critical edition of the rhetorical and philosophical writings of Cicero (1854-1862). His school editions of some of the speeches of Cicero in the Haupt and Sauppe series, with notes and introductions, were very successful. He also edited a number of classical texts for the Teubner series, the most important of which are Tacitus (4th ed., 1883); Rhetores Latini minores (1863); Quintilian (1868); Sulpicius Severus (1866); Minucius Felix.
Karl Lachmann - of Walther von der Vogelweide (1827) and Wolfram von Eschenbach (1833), in the papers "Über das Hildebrandslied," "Über althochdeutsche Betonung und Verskunst," "Über den Eingang des Parzivals," and "Über drei Bruchstucke niederrheinischer Gedichte" published in the Abhandlungen of the Berlin Academy, and in Der Nibelunge Not und die Klage (1826), which was followed by a critical commentary in 1836. Lachmann's Betrachtungen über Homer's Iliad, first published in the Abhandlungen of the Berlin Academy in 1837 and 1841, in which he sought to show that the Iliad consists of sixteen independent "layers" variously enlarged and interpolated, have had considerable influence on modern Homeric criticism, although his views are no longer accepted. His smaller edition of the New Testament appeared in 1831, the 3rd edition in 1846, and the larger second edition, in.
Verb Subject Object - to the order of symbols in (non-reverse) Polish notation or the S-expressions of the Lisp programming language. The other permutations according to importance Subject Object Verb (e.g. Japanese, Persian, Latin) Subject Verb Object (e.g. English, German, Kiswahili, Chinese) Verb Object Subject (e.g. Fijian) Object Subject Verb (e.g. Xavante) Object Verb Subject (rare).
Kaloyan of Bulgaria - a king's crown instead. According to the Chronicles of Geoffrey of Villehardouin, Kaloyan (who he calls Johannizza, King of Bulgaria and Wallachia) had repeatedly attacked Adrianople prior to 1204. In 1204 the Crusaders of the Fourth Crusade conquered Constantinople and founded the Latin Empire on the ruins of Byzantium, crowning Baldwin, Count of Flanders (IX) and Hainault (VI), as the Emperor of Constantinople. The "Greeks" (in this case meaning the Eastern Orthodox former subjects of Byzantium, as opposed to the Roman Catholic "Latins") sent envoys to Kaloyan, promising to make him emperor, if he would provide them with protection. The Crusaders, together with the Venetians under Doge Enrico Dandolo, challenged Kaloyan, and on March 29, 1205, laid siege to Adrianople, which Kaloyan had placed under his protection. Kaloyan hurried to Adrianople.
Verb - the world's languages. Caucasian languages not only mark verbs for ergativity, but also have ergative-absolutive noun case systems. Several languages spoken in Papua New Guinea mark verbs for transitivity, and some also mark verbs for ditransitivity. See also tense aspect Grammar Syntax Phrase structure rules Latin verbs in English.
Katharevousa - vocabulary from other European languages and Turkish and a simplified, archaic grammar. The purpose of its creation was to mediate the struggle between the 'archaists' (those scholars who preferred Ancient Greek to Modern) and the 'modernists' (those who preferred Modern Greek). One reason the Archaists preferred Ancient Greek was that Modern Greek includes many Latin, Italian and Turkish loan words; and Greece then was a part of the Ottoman Empire). The name Katharevousa means more or less 'clean one', implying that it is a clean form of Greek, without foreign influences, maybe as it would hypothetically have evolved from Ancient Greek had there been no foreign influence. Soon after the Second World War a long-lasting political debate became associated with the language issue, with the communists and leftists supporting Modern Greek.
Karl Heinrich Ulrichs - 1846 . From 1846 to 1848, he studied history at Berlin University, writing a dissertation (in Latin) on the Peace of Westphalia. From 1849 to 1857 Ulrichs worked as an official legal adviser for the district court of Hildesheim in the Kingdom of Hanover. He was dismissed in 1859 when his homosexuality became apparent. In 1862, Ulrichs took the momentous step of telling his family and friends that he was, in his own word, a Uranian. He also wrote a statement of legal and moral support for a man arrested for homosexual offences. This was the first public "coming out" and the first recorded incident of gay rights activism. The idea of gay and lesbian rights originated in Germany, which in the 19th century was the most socially and scientifically advanced.
Karl-Maria Kertbeny - he argued strongly that the Prussian law allowed blackmailers to extort money from homosexuals and often drove them to suicide. Kertbeny also put forward the view that homosexuality was inborn and unchangable, an argument which would later be called the "medical model" of homosexuality. This contradicted the dominant view up until that time, that men committed "sodomy" out of mere wickedness. Homosexual men, he said, were not by nature effeminate, and he pointed out that many of the great heroes of history were homosexual. He was the first writer to put these now-familiar arguments before the public. In the course of these writings Kertbeny coined the word "homosexual" as part of his system for the classification of sexual types. He called men who are attracted to women, heterosexual, he called masturbators.
Verb Object Subject - these constitutents in neutral expressions. Examples include Malagasy and Fijian. The other permutations according to importance: Subject Object Verb (e.g. Japanese, Persian, Latin) Subject Verb Object (e.g. English, German, Kiswahili, Chinese) Verb Subject Object (e.g. Welsh and Arabic) Object Subject Verb (e.g. Xavante and Apurina) Object Verb Subject (e.g. Hixkaryana).
Verner's law - voiceless stops *p, *t and *k should have changed into Proto-Germanic (PGmc) *f, *þ (dental fricative) and *x (velar fricative), according to Grimm's Law. Indeed, that was known to be the usual development. However, there appeared to be a large set of words in which the agreement of Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, Baltic, Slavic etc. guaranteed PIE *p, *t or *k, and yet the Germanic reflex was a voiced consonant (*b, *d or *g). At first, irregularities did not give scholars sleepless nights as long as there were many examples of the regular outcome. Increasingly, however, it became the ambition of linguists to formulate general and exceptionless rules of sound change that would account for all the data (or as close to the ideal as possible), not merely for a well-behaved subset.
Kalisz Voivodship - (106,800); Ostrow Wielkopolski (74,700); Krotoszyn (28,900); Jarocin (25,700). Kalisz Voivodship (2) (Latin: Palatinatus Kalisiensis), Polish: województwo kaliskie) was an administrative unit of Poland from 14th century to the partitions of Poland in 1772. Part of Greater Poland province. See also: Voivodships of Poland.
Vertex - Vertex A vertex (Latin: whirl, whirlpool; plural vertices), in geometry, is a corner of a polygon (where two sides meet) or of a polyhedron (where three or more faces and an equal number of edges meet). In 3D computer graphics, a vertex is a point in 3D space with a particular location, usually given in terms of its x, y, and z coordinates. It is one of the fundamental structures in polygonal modelling: two vertices, taken together, can be used to define the endpoints of a line; three vertices can be used to define a planar triangle. In graph theory, a graph describes a set of connections between nodes. Each node or vertex can map to an object. The connections between the nodes are called edges or arcs..
KDE - for "Kool", but was later changed to stand simply for "K," which is "The first letter before 'L' (which stands for Linux) in the Latin alphabet." According to the KDE website, "KDE is a network transparent contemporary desktop environment for UNIX workstations. KDE seeks to fill the need for an easy to use desktop for Unix workstations, similar to the desktop environments found under MacOS or Microsoft Windows." KDE was originally patterned after CDE, the "Common Desktop Environment." CDE is an older Unix desktop environment used by commercial Unix vendors, such as Sun Microsystems and Hewlett-Packard. Historically, the GNU project had concerns about the licensing of the Qt library, leading to their founding the GNOME Desktop project (and Harmony, a now-abandoned project to duplicate Qt). Qt was re-licensed to provide the.
Kenneth I of Scotland - rule the Picts of Pictavia and the Scots of Dalriada. It is possible that intermarriage with the Picts helped secure Kenneth's throne. The joint kingdom was known as Alba from the Latin for white. Recalling the peculiarity of a matrilineal succession which governed Pictish crowns, it is evident that Kenneth Mac Alpin grounded his claims to the Pictish crown from his mother's bloodlines. In 839, the Picts suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of the Vikings. The Norsemen had conquered and settled Shetland, the Outer Hebrides and as far south as the mouth of the Clyde. Caithness, Sutherland and even Dalriada were being attacked and harassed by the long boats. The brutalizing defeat at the hands of the Vikings in 839 killed most of the Pictish nobility, including the King.
Kemal Atatürk - (March 1924). The theological schools were closed, the Sharia law of Islam was replaced by the Swiss Civil Code -- importantly for the politics of the region, this officially separated the functions of Church and state in Turkey. Also the Italian Penal Code and the German Commerce Code were also adopted. He attacked the fez (the head dress) and made its use illegal. He made his public appearances in a European-style hat and made that the new head dress. He was also impressed with European dance and encouraged women to learn it. He was also responsible for the conversion of written Turkish from an Arabic script to a modified Latin alphabet. (A date was fixed and it was made illegal by law to use the old Arabic script.)This resulted in the.
Veto - Veto The word veto comes from Latin and literally means I forbid. It is used to denote that a certain party has the right to unilaterally stop a certain piece of legislation. A veto thus gives unlimited power to stop changes, but not to adopt them. The veto originated with the Roman tribunes who had the power to unilaterally refuse legislation passed by the Roman senate. In Westminster Systems, the power to veto legislation by withholding the royal assent is a rarely-used reserve power of the monarch or the representative of the monarch. The Queen may veto a law that has been given royal assent by the Governor-General within one year of the legislation being assented to. In the United States, the President is able to veto legislation passed by.
