Replying to LO27782 --
Dear LO'ers,
The long post of dear Andrew still vibrates in my mind. Vibrating like
buzzing bees, a cloud of bees, a young population who decided to live on
its own, apart from the old mother.
What surpised me was Andrew's ending of his contribution:
"I like how 'yield' works two ways ..."
Andrew, you must know that At and I had a rather intense dialogue on the
ethymological roots of "geld" wich is the Dutch/South African word for
'money'. At and I entered in a very complex tree of related words, all in
some way indicating the strong relationship between money and
land/country.
And 'yield' is one such word; it is the Old English for money (you may
recognise still the word 'geld' in it). But remember, the word 'guilt' and
'guilty' and these Medieval 'Guilds' are very nearby. So:
"I like how 'yield' works many ways..."
