Recently by khamkhwa.
Saminasha has been kind enough to corrupt my nick from khamkhwa to khamkhway with a pour before it. pour means:
" To make ( a liquid or granular solid) stream or flow, as from a container, OR To sendforth, produce, express or utter copiously, as if in a stream or flood. OR To stream or flow continuously or profusely OR To rain heavily" OR it could be french for FOR.
but the word "odcot" in the third line of her abstract poetry (beyond my comprehension-obviously) made me realize the level of my ignorance. simply, i did not know the meaning of this word "odcot" and that made me look up all the dictionaries and thesarus in my home, office and the library. finally internet sorted my problem when i cheked with www. dictionary.com and it gave me this information, which is posted here for others like me to read, understand and realize their ignorance.
[odcot- there is no such word in english language. try od and cot seperately. lo and behold! od means Officer of Day, and cot means- abbr. of cotangential, which means The reciprocal of the tangent of an angle in a right triangle OR The tangent of the complement of a ditected angle or arc.
Word History: People might assume that there is nothing particularly exotic about the history of the word cot. However, cot is a good example of how some words borrowed from other cultures become so firmly naturalized over time that they lose their émigré flavor. The British first encountered the object denoted by cot, a light frame strung with tapes or rope, in India, where their trading stations had been established as early as 1612. The word cot, first recorded in English in 1634, comes from kh, the Hindi name for the contrivance. During subsequent years, cot has been used to denote other types of beds, including in British usage a crib.]
having learnt the meanings of all the difficult words, i am yet to understand what is she trying to tell me. perhaps, this is how Phds talk amongst themselves, OR this is directed at me because
i called them Phira Hua Dimaagh.....which is proved by the above and the meaning lies hidden somewhere in the ODCOT........;)
