Off to Reno to deplete Uncle Bill's supply of Durbas, which I *may* then let you have at triple the price. ( Not really but I have to dangle the carrot. )

A month or two without a new Durba and you'll be begging us to please put your HIKV in remission to stop the agony of withdrawal. UH UH - suffer, baby!
 
Ouch! Poor Tsimi. But what was that you were saying recently about the joy of healing? This must be some of that "tough love" they talk about.
 
Rus,
Durba's(plural)HUH?? See what I've done for you, following my example, you are NOW acquiring "class"!:D What a pity that you won't aadmitt this to the K brotherhood but I really didn't expect you too! You're just ,alas, set in your ways! Understand that happens to certain people & a certain NDN! I'm just happy to see you have acquired taste in K's, now if I can only get you to dump the paring knife(12" K)!:D Be happy Rus, I've helped you,want to join the JC Fellowship??;) Ah yes another, wayward , misguided K brother converted!:rolleyes:NDN,might prove to bemore difficult, might cost me two Durbas to convert him! On second thought , forget it, he ain't worth two Durba's! Lousy NDN, wont send my Bowie,grumble, mutter! :mad: :mad: :mad: grumble!

This is to who ever would like to respond. How did Jim acquire the handle "Tsimi"? I've racked my brain and can't figure this one out.:confused:
 
:
Gary I started calling Jim by Tsimi as that's the Cherokee way of saying his name. It is prounounced sorta like Shimmy.:D
Gary on the other hand is Ge wi or Gewi prounounced Gay we.:D

So there you have it Gewi.::) :D
 
Yvsa, my elder bro' will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Tsimi is somewhat phonetically similar to Jimmy in the native Cherokee language, Tsalagi. (I think it would sound like Chimee, however.)

(Day late and a dollar short, again. ;))
 
:
Cherokee is difficult to say the least and hard to get your tongue around.
Either way would be sorta correct depending upon whether one lives in the valley or on the mountain tops.:D
 
Yvsa tagged him - Yvsa knows :D It is the same for other Cherokee pronunciations of Anglo names, shown in wordlists which omit "Jim" or "Jimmy" "Long tall Tsali, she de best of 'em all - sleep in de kitchen wit her feet in de hall"....Hey Hey :o
 
Wal,

I hope you realize that I posted my reply before Yvsa's reply showed up on the thread. I would never presume to correct my bro's pronunciation of his own language (or yours for that matter).

I'm being serious on this point since I kid about most other things here of late and I want it known that I was only offering an interim reply til either you or Yvsa showed up with the goods.

Square?

(In fact I only left it in place so Yvsa's correction wouldn't look like he was talking to thin air. ;))
 
:
Don't feel bad Bro, you're just as right as I am.
What really gets peepul confused is that the name for Sally as Walosi spelled it is the same as the name for Charley.
There were once only 3 dialects of the Cherokee language and now with the different accents that different parts of the country has as well as what people remember from when they were young, often incorrectly, the only way to have absolutely perfect Cherokee is in the written word from the Syllabary, (I don't think I spelled that right.)
And then it doesn't sound the same if read out loud because of the reasons above.
But we're lucky in the fact that George Guess or 'Pig in the Pen' also known as
Sequayah gave us the syllabary so that we could read and write the language
We're the only tribe that has such a way to record our history.
He was called 'Pig in the Pen' because he was a mixed blood.
He is also reported to have visited the Cherokee in Mexico and walked West while he was with the Cherokee there.
There's still supposed to be a band of Cherokee that has lived there since before the Trail of Tears.
 
Never fear your posts - Even if I had mis-read it, I would have understood your intentions, and would have taken your character into consideration :) Well, maybe not character, but at least history of past posts :D While the other posts were going up, I was scrambling through syllabarys,(sp²) wordlists and dictionaries trying to find "Tsimi", which I remembered as "Jimmy", but I share some memory traits with Uncle Bill (I forget which ones), and had forgotten "Charley". Add to all that the fact that I cannot see or hear the name "Sally" without starting that damn song up in my head. A cousin once slugged me with a Jerry Lee Lewis album. I've been posting out of desperation the past two weeks, trying to keep a light side going, so if I got/get strange, just fagiddaboudit - it don't mean nothin'. :)

Now you're talkin' my language. ;)

Thanks, Wal.
 
Guys,
Calm down! I've been called by other names too, why some I've even answered to! As the old saying goes, "jUST DON'T CALL ME LATE FOR DINNER"! By the way, Blues, I think you owe me a dinner, or we were suposed to meet for breakfast! If you are going to dress like you did in Bill Paxton's pic. forget it, I'll get Vince to buy! :D

Thanks alot you all, very interesting stuff. I was in Thailand when I was in the army. I was stationed about 120 miles south of Bangkok and it took me by suprise about the dialects there, the folks that lived in that area couldn't understand people from northern Thailand even though they spoke the same language. Plus each area has their own slang which makes it that much more difficult. I learned to speak the local dialect(enough to get by) but would have a hard time when I would just go to Bankok 120 miles north. The same sort of things happen around the world. Garwi
 
See there Yvsa, I've changed the spelling of my Cherokee name in 5 minutes. I guess thats how it happens. :o
 
BB, same story in Nepal. Up in the villages many folks use tribal languages and it's not uncommon for people in one valley to have a very hard time communicating with people who live over in the next valley because they are of different tribes.
 
Shows once again the brotherhood of man. Complete with sibling rivalry. :D

For what it's worth, a definition:

EGO: the troll that lives under the bridge between mind and heart.:p
