Seventh: "Den undflyende ormen" ("The Fleeing Serpent", 2025), on serpents and chaos dragon-battling in Semitic (incl. biblical) and IE literatures, and Western Esotericism. A kind of précis of much of my scholarly work during the last ten years or so.

Talk on "El, Marduk, YHWH, and nṯr: The Motif of the Magical God and Golem-like Beings in Bronze Age Sources and Iron-Age Survivals" just delivered at the Kiel conference! Recited quite a bit of Enuma Elish ;-)

IGN gave it a 9.2/10. It's worth... at least that.

In a hotel in Kiel, doing a rewatch of "Self-Control" (s4e15), one of the most masterful episodes of Agents of SHIELD ever. It really is an absolute acting extravaganza.

@LFriszt Beroende på vilken engelsk dialekt man tänker på substitueras ett långt [ɜː] eller - kanske sannolikare – det rhoticerade [ɚ] som svenska "ör", vilket är ett mycket nära överlapp med hur turkiskan gör i exemplet ovan. Ingen stor grej alls nej, men lite kul.

@LFriszt Återigen, exakt samma poäng som OP gjorde om turkiska. Det är en lånesubstition, inte en stor fonetisk förändring.

Swedish Public Radio made the claim that Sam Neill is mostly known for Jurassic Park. But not in Sweden. Especially not on New Year´s Day. Rest in peace Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert. Sic Transit Gloria Mundi.

I wonder if one could make an avyāyibhāva of this? Yathābhoguḥ – "according to one's bogusness"? Depends on the degree of substantivation, I guess... Maybe... yathābhogustvam?

@Saatvata He mentions the masculine vocative compound dīrghāyo as such, for example. But on the other hand, he does say that it is "from ā́y-us", like so attached. But yeah, several of those forms do switch inflection classes back and forth, so...

@Saatvata An -o vocative is sometimes said to be attested for -us stems in Vedic (albeit quite rare), so I jokingly used that to be maximally silly! But now, looking through MacDonnel's grammar, it looks as though those forms are actually "moved" derivations as u-stems, so yeah, agreed.
