bro what are you on about. do you really think there were no equivalent problems back then weve since solved? i cant examplify because i was not alive at that time and im not read up enough but to me its obvious every time period will have their own challenges, and stop putting words in ppls mouths lol
source? plus “western wages” is a pretty broad range and doesnt really mean anything without context
suggestions off the top of my head are countries with or near significant colonial influences, eg madagascar and indonesia seem to be pretty similar across the board
although far from comprehensive such is the case of languages listed on wiktionarys translations dropdown on the english entries of the countries at least
the only notable exception i spotted is the navajo name for indonesia apparently being “Kéyah Dah Ndaaʼeełí Łání” which is quite interesting and i dont really have an explanation for that discrepancy (perhaps its pronounced similarly and orthography just isnt idunno) but navajo isnt a national language anywhere anyways so it doesnt really matter for the original question
when i used to play games that required coop to get certain items id often sit for long whiles hovering over the search for teammates button, online social anxiety is real shit. nowadays its better but i still cant do mh coop in fear of being too bad
Interesting hypothesis! It’s indeed likely this could be the case, it’s just unfortunate only one variant of Ainu remains and that it’s in quite a precarious position, but it’s fun to see different paths of how words picked up their meanings either way.
Late because I only discovered it first now but this is quite interesting. When I first read this post my initial thought was also to investigate Basque and other language isolates, but by coincidence I just happened to stumble upon the Ainu (language isolate (according to popular consensus from what i can gather anyways) that’s native to Hokkaido and parts of the easternmost islands of Russia) word for The Earth while looking through wiktionary: aynumosir (アィヌモシㇼ) which roughly means “the land of the humans.” Compared to the Nahuatl example it also seems that the word for “land” (mosir (モシㇼ)) does not have much to do with the word for dirt/soil on its own and seems to more explicitly refer to land as in territory/country, meanwhile the word for dirt/soil would be “toy” (トィ). As far as I know this would be the word for The Earth that is the furthest removed from having with earth/soil to do. Additional fun fact is that the Ainu word for the equivalent of heaven is “kamuymosir” (カムイモシㇼ ) which roughly means “divine territory/country.”

friends recommendations (maybe slightly more digestible than some stuff on my list):
my go to for remembering which one to use is translating the sentence to english and if “the” or “they” is correct use “de” and if “them” is correct use “dem” (remember by thinking dem = them)
Primarily math but also biology
Arch is a blast, good luck
Homework homework homework, then managing some flea market economics. Fun stuff (but unironically)
unsure about patches applied since writing, but near the ending pages in the original paper theres a more exhaustive list of the state of vpns
The knowledge that for as much bad stuff we get up to, humans can accomplish truly mindblowing things. I think about it a lot in the context of science/technology and knowing that much of the tech that I use daily and take for granted is tech that people couldn’t even dream of just a couple decades ago. Excited to see what the future has in store on that front.
