Basque
Note: Title. The rugged Basque language (natively, Euskera, Eskuara, Heskuara, Eskoarea, or sometimes Eskoara) is spoken on both sides of the Pyrenean Mountains.

There are six principal dialects differing slightly among themselves. It is written today in a modified Latin alphabet; its original alphabet is no longer known. The language is directly referred to by name at FW 102.16, 121.05, 230.06, 233.35, 287f4, 329.01, 507.15, 566.33, and 577.01.

It may not be diagreeabe to the reader to lay here before him the ceremony of the ‘cran-tara’, which was of a similar nature, and, till very lately, used in the Highlands. When the news of an enemy came to the residence of a chief, he immediately killed a goat with his own sword, dipped the end of an half-burnt piece of wood in the blood, and gave it to one of his servants, to be carried to the next hamlet. From hamlet to hamlet this tessera was carried with the utmost expedition, and, in the space of a few hours, the whole clan were in arms, and convened in an appointed place; the name of which was the only word that accompanied the delivery of the Cran-tara.

To tell one's name to an enemy was reckoned, in those days of heroism, a manifest evasion of fighting him; for if it was once known, that friendship subsisted, of old, between the ancestors of the combatants, the battle immediately ceased; and the ancient amity of their forefathers was renewed. A man who tells his name to his enemy, was of old an igominious term for a coward. James MacPherson, The Poems of Ossian (1806) CARTHON Book I, 200n

A song, which is still in repute, among the sea-faring part of the Highlanders, alludes to this passage of Ossian. The author commends the knowledge of Ossian in sea affairs, a merit, which, perhaps, few of us moderns will allow him, or any in the age in which he lived.

The sentiments of a certain old bard are agreeable to this observation. He, poetically, compares a great man to a fire kindled in a desert place. “Those that pay court to him, says he, are rolling large around him, like the smoke about the fire. This smoke gives the fire a great appearance at a distance, but it is but an empty vapour itself, and varying its form at every breeze. When the trunk, which fed the fire, is consumed, the smoke departs on all the winds. So the flatterers forsake their chief, when his power declines.” James MacPherson, The Poems of Ossian (1806) OINA-MORUL Book I, 209n

Ossian last of race / — blind
It is presumed, as undisputed, that a traditional history of a great hero or chief, called Fion, Fion na Gael, or, as it is modernized, Fingal, exists, and has immemorially existed, in the Highlands and islands of Scotland, and that certain poems or ballads containing the exploits of him and his associate heroes, were the favourite lore of the natives of those districts. The general belief of the existence of such heroic personages, and the great poet OSSIAN, the son of FINGAL, by whom their exploits were sung, is as universal in the Highlands as the belief of any ancient fact whatsoever. It is recorded in proverbs, which pass through all ranks and conditions of men. Ossian dall, BLIND OSSIAN, is a person as well known as strong SAMSON or wise SOLOMON. […] Ossian, “an deigh nam fiann” OSSIAN, the last of his race, is proverbial, to signify a man who has had the misfortune to survive his kindred.

Though the Goths, under which name we usually comprehend all the Scandinavian tribes, were a people altogether fierce and martial, and noted, to a proverb, for their ignorance of the liberal arts, yet they too, from the earliest times, had their poets and their songs.

Christus caput noster / Coronet te bonis
Olaus Wormius, in the appendix to his Treatise de Literatura Runica, has given a particular account of the Gothic poetry, commonly called Runic, from Runes, which signifies the Gothic letters. He inform us that there were no fewer than one hundred and thirty six different kinds of measure of verse used in their vyses; and though we are accustomed to call rhyme a Gothic invention, he says expressly, that among all these measures, rhyme, or correspondence of final syllables, was never employed. […] As an example of this measure, Olaus gives us these two Latin lines, constructed exactly according to the above rules of Runic verse:

Christus caput nostrum
Coronet te bonis

The initial letters of Christus, Caput, and Coronet, make the three corresponding letters of the distich. In the first line, the first syllables of Christus and of nostrum; in the second line, the on in coronet and in bonis make the requisite correspondence of syllables.

This Lodbrog was a king of Denmark, who lived in the eighth century, famous for his wars and victories; and at the same time an eminent Scalder or poet. It was his misfortune to fall at last into the hands of one of his enemies, by whom he was thrown into prison, and condemned to be destroyed by serpents. In this situation he solaced himself with rehearsing all the exploits of his life. The poem is divided into twenty nine stanzas, of ten lines each; and every stanza begins with these words, Pagnavimus Ensibus, We have fought with our swords.

Beche La Mar
Note: Bêche-la-Mar is a simple patois developed to ease communication between the natives of the Melanesian islands and the Europeans they encountered while trading. Its name, also given as Sandalwood English, derives from two commodies traded — sandalwood, a fragrant wood from the tree Santalum album, and Bêche-le-mer (from the Portuguese bicho do mar, or ‘worm of the sea’), a sea slug highly prized by the Chinese as a delicacy. The vocabulary is simplistic, of necessity, and in the main English, while the syntax is almost comical.

The plural is the same as the singular and is indicated by the use of numerals, as in ‘me two fellow Danis’ (Danis and I) and ‘two fellow he fellow go where’ (where are they going), or by using ‘all’, as in ‘all he walk’ (all are walking).

goth, bond, ragn, tyr, hap, / diar, fiorg, jotn, vear Green
Note: ‘God’ is a word common to all of the Germanic languages. It was, in heathen times, of neuter gender and was used almost exclusively in the plural number. This was not because these people thought of the gods as many, but rather it expressed a feeling for the multiform majesty of the divinity. The Völuspá [Song of the Sybil] — a poem of the Elder Edda written in Iceland in the eleventh century — writes of the history of the Norse gods and distinguishes a two-fold form of nomenclature: the esoteric influences—nameless and without attributes — who ruled the world, and the exoteric and personalised gods. Of the first of these, we find the ‘deciding powers’ (Old Norse regin or rögn) and the ‘decision-making powers’ (ON bönd and höpt). [In the singular band and hapt.] Of the more manifested gods, two divine families were identified: the Aesir [singular: áss] — these include Odin, Thor, and Tyr — and the Vanir [sing.: Vanr] — these include Njord, Frey (the fertility god) and Freya (Frey's female counterpart). Fjorgynn [Earth] was the mother of Thor.
The etymology of these names is disputed. Grimm suggests that the former is cognate with Aesares, the gods of the Etruscans who formed a circle of implicitly involved powers known as dii consentes and complices — in exactly the same imagination as the ON bönd and höpt. Other commentators see the Aesir and Vanir as being the gods of the rulers and of the herders, respectively.
ON díar has two senses. The first is a general name for certain of the Aesir; the second for sacrifice-conducting priests or chiefs. Jötunn [with plural Jotnar] has the meaning of a ‘giant’. Vear is a poetic term for the gods in general.
N53 (VI.B.46): 41(c)

About one hundred years ago, when the governments wanted to create some order in their data base of Jewish citizens and therefore, as a police measure, forced the Jews to choose a family name and a first name … all of a sudden a new nomenclature came into being.] Fritz Mauthner, Beiträge zu einer Kritik der Sprache. 3 vols (1901-2) III 508

600-2000 mots (letters) / syllables Red
Note: All Chinese words, with only a few exceptions, are monosyllabic; those that are not are compounds of these monosyllables. The unit in the language is the morpheme (syllable) and not the phoneme (which is unknown). As the number of syllables is limited, it follows that in Chinese we encounter a vast number of homophones (words of identical sound). To differentiate between these (to a point) a system is used whereby different tones are superimposed on the syllables.
Mandarin (Kuan hua) — the officials' language — has been the received standard since 1911. This is based on the Peking dialect, which allows for each syllablle 18 possible initial consonants, 6 vowels and 4 final endings. This results in 424 possible syllables, and, allowing for diph- and triphthongs, we can increase this to about 1,000. Mandarin admits 4 tones, and thus the total amount of words (Fr. mots) is about 4,000-5,000. While one finds in China a number of mutually incomprehensible dialects, there is everywhere a common orthography (putting into writing). To each word there is assigned a single complex symbol or character. This arose from the earliest periods, when pictures were drawn to represent things or ideas, that is, from a purely ideographic system. The orthography developed from this into a logography — representations of words. To make matters inscrutable, there is therefore no alphabet. On the other hand, to each little picture is assigned universally only one meaning, though many different sounds as one goes from dialect to dialect.

sujsi fantsie
Note: In Chinese, lexicography — in default of an alphabet — is not easy. One popular system of sorting is termed the fan-ts'ie (literally, to cut off in two directions). In this, each syllable is split into two parts, initial and final, by way of placing the character whose pronunciation is to be described (in whatevevr dialect is pertinent) between two other characters, necessarily known to the reader. These two characters indicate the initial and final sound, respectively. In this roundabout way, the character ching, for example, is recorded in the ‘ch’ and ‘ing’ parts of chi shing. A third symbol then indicates the correct tone. This seems to be illustrated by the entry ‘h(en) (m)an’.

Note: In many languages the words ‘two’ and ‘thou’ are cognate. The Sanskrit phrase Tat-tvam-asi [from the Chandogya Upanishad] — That Thou Art — reveals the interconnectedness between the Brahma (the That) and the individual (the Thou).

andreia Orange
Si le latin uir a disparu des langues romanes, il en est resté un dérivé, mais dont, dès l'époque romaine, le lien avec uir était si relâché qu'on cessait d'unir les deux mots : uirtus. La uirtus, c'est l'ensemble des qualités qui font un «mâle», un «guerrier» : appellata est ex uiro uirtus, dit Cicéron dans les Tusculanes. C'est ce que le grec attique nommait andreía, la langue homérique enorée, la qualité de l'aner. Antoine Meillet, “Le nom d'homme” Linguistique historique et linguistique générale (1921) 273
Note: Greek andreia: manliness (Latin virtus).
N53 (VI.B.46): 51(f)
virtue, Orange
Mais, en latin, le mot a été affecté à désigner toute qualité morale, ce que le grec nommait aret[e] : faute d'avoir un mot propre, on s'est servi de uirtus pour rendre le mot grec, et ainsi le mot latin s'est empli d'un sens nouveau, qui le séparait définitivement de uir ; avec le christianisme, ce sens a pris une nuance nouvelle qui l'a isolé plus encore de uir. D'autre part, uirtus, qui désignait un mérite actif, a servi à désigner les propriétés actives d'un produit. Le français qui n'a aucun représentant de uir, a conservé ainsi uirtus, sous la forme vertu, avec la double valeur de «qualité morale» et de «propriété active (d'un objet)». On voit ici comment les classes sociales qui créent la culture agissent, sur le vocabulaire. Du reste, ce n'est plus guère que dans la langue littéraire et savante que vertu a gardé sa valeur. La prédominance des préoccupations matérielles, le souci d'une lutte âpre pour les meilleures situations sociales ont enlevé à la «vertu» beaucoup de son prestige. Dans la langue courante, un peu populaire, le mot «vertu» n'existe plus que dans des emplois ironiques : il faut de la vertu pour cela, il en a de la vertu ! Ainsi le mot qui désignait le mérite de l'homme fort ne sert plus dans le français familier d'aujourd'hui qu'à indiquer la naïveté de l'homme qui est trop «bon» pour son siècle, et qui par suite est la dupe des autres.

arete,
Mais, en latin, le mot a été affecté à désigner toute qualité morale, ce que le grec nommait aret[e]: faute d'avoir un mot propre, on s'est servi de uirtus pour rendre le mot grec, et ainsi le mot latin s'est empli d'un sens nouveau, qui le séparait définitivement de uir ; avec le christianisme, ce sens a pris une nuance nouvelle qui l'a isolé plus encore de uir. D'autre part, uirtus, qui désignait un mérite actif, a servi à désigner les propriétés actives d'un produit. Le français qui n'a aucun représentant de uir, a conservé ainsi uirtus, sous la forme vertu, avec la double valeur de «qualité morale» et de «propriété active (d'un objet)». On voit ici comment les classes sociales qui créent la culture agissent, sur le vocabulaire. Du reste, ce n'est plus guère que dans la langue littéraire et savante que vertu a gardé sa valeur. La prédominance des préoccupations matérielles, le souci d'une lutte âpre pour les meilleures situations sociales ont enlevé à la «vertu» beaucoup de son prestige. Dans la langue courante, un peu populaire, le mot «vertu» n'existe plus que dans des emplois ironiques : il faut de la vertu pour cela, il en a de la vertu ! Ainsi le mot qui désignait le mérite de l'homme fort ne sert plus dans le français familier d'aujourd'hui qu'à indiquer la naïveté de l'homme qui est trop «bon» pour son siècle, et qui par suite est la dupe des autres.

Ce nom de la «terre» ne s'est pas conservé en germanique.

Les correspondants indo-iraniens sont d'usage courant. Latin homo et hemo, gotique guma, lituanien žmu~ sont des dérivés du thème *ghem-, *ghom-, *ghm-, qui était en indo-européen le principal nom de la «terre». Pour la forme, ces dérivés ne se comprennent que si on se reporte à l'indo-européen, où ils sont de type normal.

Mais, si la formation de humanus est ancienne, le mot a pris en latin savant un sens nouveau: Cicéron s'en sert pour traduire philánthropos, et d'humanitas pour traduire philanthopia, c'est-à-dire pour désigner tout ce que comporte la notion d'un homme cultivé, qui a reçu toute la culture de son temps. De par sa nature d'adjectif, le mot humain est d'ailleurs plus abstrait et plus général que le nom même de l'«homme».

Louis XV était trop jeune pour gouverner lui-même au moment où Louis XIV mourut (1715).

Ce dernier finissait souvent par dégoûter le Régent lui-même, qui lui disait: Un peu de droiture, je t'en prie! Pendant ce temps, le vieux maréchal de Villeroi disait à Louis XV, en lui montrant la foule: Sire, tout ce peuple est à vous! Il n'en fallait pas tant pour perdre complètement un prince qui avait sous les yeux les pires exemples, qui subissait tous les entraînements et devait se débarrasser plus tard des préoccupations de l'avenir, en disant négligemment: Cela durera bien autant que moi.

Louis XV, qui avait amené son fils avec lui, le conduisit sur le champ de bataille, au milieu des morts et des blessés, et lui dit: Apprenez, mon fils, à ne pas jouer avec la vie de vos sujets. Malheureusement il poussait trop loin ses dédains royaux, et, sous prétexte de ne pas faire la paix en marchand, mais en roi, il signa le traité d'Aix-la- Chapelle, en 1748, qui ne nous était d'aucun profit après beaucoup d'efforts. Mais les soldats n'avaient cure de ces grands démêlés. Ils faisaient la guerre en s'amusant.

[TABLE DES MOTS] 108: Les soldats de Bugeaud | As-tu vu la casquette du père Bugeaud? E. Trogan, Les Mots Historiques du Pays de France (1922) 76
Note: As-tu vu la casquette au père Bugeaud as a phrase derives from a song written in honour of Maréchal Bugeaud (1784-1849) who habitually sported a bizarre hat while Governor of Algeria.

j'y suis, j'y reste Red
Ainsi fut sauvé l'étendard aux trois couleurs que Mac-Mahon, quelques années plus tard, en Crimée, le 8 septembre 1855, plantait sur la tour Malakoff, en répondant aux ordres qui voulaient l'arracher au danger: J'y suis, j'y reste!
[TABLE DES MOTS] 108: Mac-Mahon | J'y suis, j'y reste. E. Trogan, Les Mots Historiques du Pays de France (1922) 76
Note: That is, in English, ‘Here I am, here I remain’. This remark was made by Maréchal Patrice de MacMahon in 1855 when it was inquired of him if he could retain a fortress that he had just captured, the Malakoff near Sebastopol.

vive la Pologne (C. Floquet) Red
  • FW unlocated
Après les expéditions de Crimée, d'Italie, de Chine et du Mexique, l'Empire était officiellement, en 1867, à l'apogée de sa gloire, pendant l'exposistion universelle que visitaient à l'envi les souverains d'Europe. C'est à ce moment que M. Floquet, dont le chapeau fut désormais légendaire, s'imposa à la postérité, en apostrophant l'empereur de Russie de ces mots: Vive la Pologne, Monsieur!
[TABLE DES MOTS] 108: M. Floquet | Vive la Pologne, Monsieur! E. Trogan, Les Mots Historiques du Pays de France (1922) 79
Note: According to the story, Charles Floquet was one of a crowd of barristers that cried out Long live Poland! on the occasion of the visit of Czar Alexander II to the Palais de Justice in Paris on 4 June 1867.

The second story, which follows, is from the records of Major Hillyer, Matron of Mackirdy House: A captain of the Salvation Army in Holland wrote to Major Hillyer informing her that a young girl aged sixteen was being sent to a situation in London. Before the girl arrived an officer called on the future mistress, but was treated with scant courtesy, and, the interview being so unsatisfactory, it was thought advisable that the girl should not go to the place. The girl was met at Liverpool Street Station and taken to the midnight quarters of the Salvation Army, instead of to the situation. Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N.

servation, ~ Green
A young German girl wrote from her home to a Registry Office in London inquiring if she could get a situation as servant. The woman in charge of the office wrote and told her to come to England and she would get a place at once. On the girl's arrival she found that the house was a house of infamy, and straightway went wrong. She was rescued, but too late to save her honour, by two gentlemen whom she happened to hear speaking German at a railway station, and whom she told of her trouble. They went to the Salvation Army Depot at Regent Street and reported the matter. Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 15

~ the life, ~ Not cancelled
After a great deal of difficulty some officers got the girl away from the bad house into a Home, but she would not stay, “the life” having taken too great a hold of her. This is a case of a quite good girl falling on coming to London. Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 15

A young German girl wrote from her home to a Registry Office in London inquiring if she could get a situation as servant. The woman in charge of the office wrote and told her to come to England and she would get a place at once. On the girl's arrival she found that the house was a house of infamy, and straightway went wrong. Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 15

tout, Green
It was not long ago that a magistrate dealing with a case of a man touting for patrons for a fearful, low house, said that it seemed almost a worse thing for unhappy women to be driven into hideous secret dens than for them to be situated where they could be watched by the police. We agree with this entirely. It cannot serve the purpose of morality, health, or cleanliness, nor advance the ideals of Christianity one jot, to drive away numbers of diseased, unhappy, deplorable women from positions where society could, as it were, keep a guard over them, to by-ways and slums where they can entice perhaps ignorant and undefended men, rob them, blackmail them, invest them with disease, and let them go forth to taint others with whom they come in contact. Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 16

procuress, Green
The reason this fearful trade exists and flourishes in the midst and under the very noses of good, proper-living people is, primarily, because of the existence of the despicable creatures known as “pimps” and “bludgers.” Thousands of men known as “bludgers” live upon the tainted earnings of unfortunate women; and there are hundreds aye, thousands of procuresses who make large sums by decoying girls to sin. The law deals very lightly with these three classes of individuals, who keep the trade flourishing so that they themselves may flourish. Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N.

The plague of the “pimp” and his co-partner, the procuress, in Egypt is bad enough, in all conscience, but, from a European standpoint, it does not assume the awful seriousness of the aspect of the traffic in the Middle East and the Far East as regards the literal slaughter of white women and girls.

I fixed a time in the afternoon, and at the appointed hour I pocketed my revolver—as a precautionary measure—filled my pocket with Burma cigars, and, accompanied by the clerk, drove off in a ramshackle trap to one of the suburbs of Cairo. On the journey I explained to my companion the killing power of a Colt six-shooter. This was another precautionary measure, to disabuse his mind of any possible idea of having “a cheap proposition” to face if treachery were in the air. Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N.

Lyndhurst Terrace, Green
In Lyndhurst Terrace too are houses occupied by American “missuses.” Hundreds of American girls pass through Gage Street and Lyndhurst Terrace during the year, and, if they live, eventually find themselves, when their bloom is gone, and they become addicted to drink and drugs, in the Chinese quarter in Takkn Road, where nearly three hundred brothels exist, each house containing from a dozen to twenty unfortunates of all colours, creeds, and castes. Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 56
N53 (VI.B.46): 61(o)
missus Green
The traffic at Hong-Kong and Shanghai is principally in the hands of American “missuses” that is, the big traffic in white girls is in the hands of these women. […] Hundreds of American girls pass through Gage Street and Lyndhurst Terrace during the year, and, if they live, eventually find themselves, when their bloom is gone, and they become addicted to drink and drugs, in the Chinese quarter in Takkn Road, where nearly three hundred brothels exist, each house containing from a dozen to twenty unfortunates of all colours, creeds, and castes.

crany (clerk) Green
One of the leading “missuses” of Lyndhurst Terrace actually told me that she draws her supplies from New York and San Prancisco, generally by cable code. […] She has no lover or protector. She speculates in rubber, in tin, and in rice, and it is said that it takes three or four cranys (clerks) to keep her books in order. The saddest feature of this fearful woman's excursions is her return to Hong-Kong to her place of infamy. She nearly always returns alone. The daughters of America are left behind God only knows where, and God only knows their end. And this is what they call triumphant civilisation! Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 57f
N53 (VI.B.46): 61(q)
Scott's road Green
Where the American girls disappear to, once they leave the “Harem,” is a secret surrounded with much mystery, as few if any of these particular women find themselves in the Chinese dens at Scott's Road. Scott's Road is a very notorious quarter containing about three hundred Chinese dens. Each den shelters from ten to fifteen or twenty girls of every nationality. The place is as dangerous as it is loathsome. Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 74

Malay Street, Green
Every boat that comes to Singapore brings its quota of human freight in the form of these unfortunate, misled girls, nearly all of whom go into Malay Street and are borne out again only to be buried. It is a national disgrace that we as sane men and women cannot look this fearful evil in the face and deal with it without fear and trembling, for the protection of the young, the innocent, and the ignorant. Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 103
N53 (VI.B.46): 61(s)
foreigner,
These creatures are almost all foreigners, and many of them have a sort of loud smartness and flashy appearance which might well appeal to ignorant and innocent girls of the poorer classes. The business of these men is to decoy into the public market, for public hire, women who are charming to look at and who are likely to please the senses of men who will pay for them. These women must ply their trade at certain given houses. Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 107

I wondered how on earth any human being could stay in such a place with such truly contemptuous people for a single moment longer than was absolutely compulsory. This is, of course, an extreme case, and wiser counsels and more Christian wisdom now prevail. “Fallen women” are given a far better chance than they used to be given even ten years ago, and many of the rescue homes are quite charming places. But how are these poor women to know this? Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 111

N53 (VI.B.46): 61(v)
rescue work Green
They will not of course face the question of going into rescue homes and putting themselves into the hands of rescue workers, because they have been told, and in some cases also they know from experience of these places, that they are hard and cruel. The women are looked upon with suspicion and with immense contempt. Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 110

magdalen, Green
I myself visited a Home once when I first came to this country. I did not know quite what I was going to see, but was invited to inspect the work of some “sisters,” and I was taken into what was called a “Magdalenes' Home.” A number of women with close-cropped hair were at work over wash-tubs in a semi-underground place. They had hideous little caps tied partly over their heads, and stiff straight gowns of a very ugly material. They were, in fact, branded; and the “saintly sisters” went among them with the same sort of air that one would have if compelled to walk among lepers or plague-stricken people. Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 110
N53 (VI.B.46): 61(x)
petted, Green
But only a few of the girls are petted, or are kept by the “pimps” for themselves. They are most of them simply slaves; they never handle the money that is due to them from their terrible work. They have no right to make any objection to any man who may be sent to them. Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 113
N53 (VI.B.46): 61(y)
sisterhood, Green
If the “pimp” and his woman have an open quarrel, jealousy on the part of the woman sometimes induces that climax, but even then she does not hand him over to the law. What she does is to give her late hero money to quit the country, and she tells him to be gone. He goes, making a pretence of being broken-hearted and drowned in tears, and shortly he returns smiling, with another fair-headed and blue-eyed, golden-slippered recruit to the sisterhood, a person who is perhaps fonder of him than is his first “missus.” Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 113

flirtation, Green
On the way out to the East the girls are often made very useful to their masters by being set to decoy some young Britisher who is travelling. The girl is compelled to attract the young man and begin a flirtation. The slave trader so contrives that the guilty pair are caught in a compromising situation, and as what he wants is money the young man who has been trapped is unscrupulously blackmailed.

So the traders in the East find it a desirable part of a very lucrative trade to pander to these men. They are offered by these rich natives thousands of pounds and jewels if they can procure for them a pretty young white girl. They will have nothing at all to do with the demimonde in the East—the girls they want must be brought especially for them, and they must be respectable. Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 117

forget the native tongue, bosom,
But if there is a child the girl's fate is very sad, as she and her offspring are very much despised, and they are often both murdered and put out of the way. Mr. Willis sketched a picture of a beautiful Italian girl who had been brought to Burma from Europe, on order. She was quite beautiful, an Italian who had been sold to a native man. When she had a child she was put into native dress and thrown out into the compound among the servants. The sketch drawn from life is reproduced on the outer wrapper of this book. It is a strange picture of a beautiful white girl with a half-caste child in her arms living in an alien community an outcast and wretched, having almost forgotten her native tongue.

Nelly contracted a complaint when she was first seduced by her infernal ‘pimp’ decoyer. Soon after her capture she knew she was diseased.

Our kind Esther in heaven, through the sweet Jesus, said that the greatest sinners may find salvation if they repent. Oh, I have prayed so long, I know I will be saved.’ Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 170f

America very properly aspires to become a leader among the great Western Powers in the East. She is now standing as a “good stepmother” to China—a vast territorial area covering nearly one-twelfth of the known surface of the earth and inhabited by a population of anything from four hundred and fifty million to five hundred million souls. America has certainly got half her foot in China, and by many diplomatic acts of statesmanship has impressed the Chinese. Her last great act of “policy” towards China was to reduce the fearful indemnity claimed against China by the allied Powers for the late Boxer rising. Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N.

house with golden stairs Green
The unfortunate child-girl was only one night in New York—the next day she was en route for Shanghai. When she landed at Shanghai she was dumped into the “house with the golden stairs,” but as her sobs and sighs, her tears and her importuning for her mother, her brother, and her little sisters became nauseating to the strong-minded “missus” of the “house with the golden stairs”—who was out for money,—not tears the child-girl disappeared so completely that not a trace of her or her having lived in the fearful Babylonian house now exists.

the governor,
I was told the following incident by an attache to one of the Consular offices in the East when he and I were at one of the hotels at Tiffen. He told me what he was pleased to term “a good joke on the Governor” the “Governor” being the American Consul in charge. The good, easy-going Consul had settled in his own mind that the traffic in American women in the East had better be stopped, and for the purpose of making a start at the “stopping business” the Consul sent for a bulky, brazen “missus” who traded heavily in young girls by direct cable to New York and California, Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 190

“Well,” said the “missus,” with a loud laugh that reverberated throughout the building, “what will you do, Sir Consul—‘follow suit,’ ‘reneague,’ or ‘go to the pack’? It's all one to me. You're ‘done to rags,’ anyhow, if you lay hold on my position.”

The Consul “went to the pack.” He had no power to interfere with this bold American “missus” or to order her off the Eastern premises.

In your hurry to harry me, Sir Consul, don't forget that the ‘sky pilots,‘ the ‘pulpit-punchers,‘ and ‘Bible-bangers‘ don't own creation; they don't even own America by quite a lot. If you stop my progress out here in this hell-on-earth, where all the plagues of Egypt are bottled together, and may be sampled without the asking—if you stop me, I say, I'll shake eternity to its foundation to get even with you. I am out for business and dollars, Sir Consul. You, sir, are out for morality and hypocrisy. When you were a young man you were a noted ‘lark.‘ Now you are old and grumpy you are a ‘nark.‘ ' Mrs Archibald Mackirdy and W.N. Willis, The White Slave Market (1912) 191f

Note: The Seneca, Cayuga, Onandaga, Oneida and Mohawk tribes all belonged to the Iroquois group. They inhabited the woodlands of Upper New York State, in the area extending from the Genesee River to Lake Champlain. Deganawidah, a Huron Indian, and his desciple Hiawatha, a Mohawk, found the League of the Five Nations in the sixteenth century. This was designed to eliminate inter-tribal warfare and in 1715 was joined by a sixth tribe, the Tuscacora. The confederacy prospered through the fur trade until shortly after the war of 1812, when at last the encroachment of white settlers uprooted and dispersed the Indians.

At about this time they were expelled by the whites to Oklahama, a place then felt uninhabitable for Europeans.

Maro,
Kuno Mayer has examined philologically the names of Maro's fictitious companions: and he concludes that they have a strong Celtic element, if they are not actually Irish.

katharma (leper) / blotches after bespelling
Perhaps we may look in this direction to explain the remarkable phenomenon of ‘blotches on the face’ and similar disfigurements, appearing after an offender had been cursed, bespelled, or satirized by a druid. […] One blighted with such a curse became in the eyes of his fellow a moral leper, a katharma to be shunned as though he were infected with physical disease. R.A.

Voteporius (x)
Towards the end of the tombstone of this ruler was discovered […] The stone bears two inscriptions: one in Latin, VOTEPORIGIS DEMETORVM PROTICTORIS, giving the king's name in its Brythonic form; and the other in Ogham letters […] VOTECORIGAS. R.A. Stewart MacAlister, The Secret Languages of Ireland (Jan 1937) Ogham, 15
Note: Old Goidelic is the base language underlying Ogham inscriptions. The Old Goidelic suffix -as, indicating the genitive case in names, appears in the epitaph of Voteporix, or Voteporius, king of the Demetae, that is graven on his headstone in both Latin and Ogham letters. Voteporix is mentioned as contemporary in the sixth-century history, De excidio Britanniae liber querulus.

deaf & dumb ogham Green
Evidently this is a convenient device for secret communication. I have some knowledge of the common ‘deaf-and-dumb’ manual alphabet, but I am without skill or practice in its use; and it would be impossible for me ex improviso to follow a rapid conversation between two expert deaf-mutes.

ogma (sunface) ~ Green
‘Ogham’, says the treatise on the subject which we find in The Book of Ballymote, ‘was put together by Ogma Sun-face, son of Bres, son of Elada.‘ This conducts us into august company. Whatever the author of the treatise may have supposed, there is no shadow of a doubt that Ogma was originally a god. He was one of the Tuatha De Danann, the numerous pagan gods of the Goidelic people, whose complicated theogonia, euhemerized into a bald string of genealogies, is made into an ‘invasion’ of Ireland in the history of the country concocted and taught in the native schools. R.A. Stewart MacAlister, The Secret Languages of Ireland (Jan 1937) Ogham, 29
N53 (VI.B.46): 75(c)
~ Ogmade l. Green
So the word Ogham became a name, not for the Proto-Goidelic cultivated by the druids, but for the secret alphabet which first began to be written down, just when it, and the language, and, indeed, the druids themselves, were passing off the stage. R.A. Stewart MacAlister, The Secret Languages of Ireland (Jan 1937) Ogham, 30
Note: Ogham is essentially transliterative. For each letter of the alphabet a certain mark was dedicated, represented by small cuts made on a fixed axis or line. This representation could be communicated by means of the hands or recorded on a suitable surface, by making scratches on a rock, say, or notches on a piece of wood. A study of the surviving inscriptions shows the base language to have been an ancient form of Goidelic — though it had by this time become obsolete.

I am (31) all things Red
What, then, is this song of Amorgen? It is a hymn, setting forth a pantheistic conception of a Universe where Godhead is everywhere and omnipotent. […] the Christian writers were […] unwilling to let it go; and to avoid all risk of the charge of disseminating paganism, they forced it into the incongruous association where we now find it. God speaketh: and this is what He saith:

I am wind in the sea,
Wave of the billow am I,
I am sound of the sea:
I am an ox of seven fights,

mac ogham Green
Two forms of divination by means of Ogham are also described in the course of the tract, called respectively Mac-ogam and Bas-ogam. Mac-ogam (‘Son Ogham’). R.A. Stewart MacAlister, The Secret Languages of Ireland (Jan 1937) Cryptology, 40
N53 (VI.B.46): 75(g)
pas ogham
Bas-ogam (‘Palm-of-hand Ogham’) is laconically and ungrammatically described in Latin, thus: i.e. manus aliam percutit lignorum. This probably means that a number of pieces of wood, variously marked, were thrown together, and one of them was picked out at random: the answer to the question propounded being given by the mark on the selected piece.

Cryptocheironomy is only slightly touched upon: but particulars are given of two of the means by which the Ogham gestures were performed. We are told of Cos-ogam and Sron-ogam: Cos-ogam (‘Leg Ogham’), in which the gesticulator uses the ridge of his shin-bone as the Ogham stem-line, and forms the letters with his fingers on the two sides; R.A. Stewart MacAlister, The Secret Languages of Ireland (Jan 1937) Cryptology, 40
N53 (VI.B.46): 75(i)
nose —
Sron-ogam (‘Nose Ogham’), in which he uses the ridge of his nose in the same way. It is evident that the first of these could be used conveniently by a person seated or squatting, the second by a person standing. R.A. Stewart MacAlister, The Secret Languages of Ireland (Jan 1937) Cryptology, 40

Of Anagrams the simplest example is (15) Ogam uird (‘Order Ogham’), in which the letters of a name are written in the alphabetical order of the Ogham alphabet — as when the name Bran is written bnra, or Labraid, bldraai.

Gleselgi, a word that seems to mean ‘the track of the hunt’, is another Maronian device. It consists in separating and interlacing the syllables of two names: thus Fethnat and Segnat may be written fethsegnatnat. R.A. Stewart MacAlister, The Secret Languages of Ireland (Jan 1937) Cryptology, 46

alphagammaalphamu
Two forms may be mentioned here which will hardly fit under the other heads. The first of these is (31) Ogam romesc Bres (‘The Ogham which bewildered Bres’). This consists in writing the name of the letter for the letter, as though one should write Alpha-gamma-alpha-mu, etc. for ‘Agamemnon’. R.A.

The first of these is (31) Ogam romesc Bres (‘The Ogham which bewildered Bres’). This consists in writing the name of the letter for the letter, as though one should write Alpha-gamma-alpha-mu, etc. for ‘Agamemnon’. The name of this cypher is explained by a story to the effect that a message thus concealed was given to the ancient hero called Bres as he was going into battle, and he lost the battle because he was distracted by trying to read it!
