Girl needs a name
I wish I had realized that the english translation was under the french.
I was racking my brain to correctly translate the french into english as I'm somewhat fluent in french and suprisingly enough I got it mostly correct. It was good practice anyway, I needed to brush up. |

I read in sci.lang.translation that Camille Esse
wrote (in ) about 'Girl needs a name', on Tue, 9 Dec 2003: My purpose is to help them finding a name by looking for the maximum translations of the words 'Moon' and 'Life' in any exotic language where it sounds good. MOON Japanese : tsuki Welsh: llaeuad (but you'd need help with the correct pronunciation, especially the Welsh 'll'). Urdu: chaand (aa = long a) Someone told me that some Native American languages have romantic- sounding words for 'moon' but didn't give any examples. Greek gives a real choice: Cynthia, Diana, Phoebe.

Girl needs a name
Hi
Try the following site: http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/ Type the terms you need in the search field. When you get the search results, scroll down and you will find the word translated in over 50 languages. Non-Latin scripts are not transliterated, however. So: Life in Arabic is "Hayat", moon is "Qamar". Both Hayat and Qamar are common girl names. "Camille Esse" wrote in message ...

In Maori the word moon is *Marama* (short a sounds), and is often used here in New Zealand as a girls name. And the word life is Ora. -- Andrea If I can't be a good example, then I'll just have to be a horrible warning. |
