guileto: Gentilicio de Mecerreyes, a town in the Arlanza region near Covarrubias, where, according to some, the entourage of the Cid would pass on the way to exile. So he wants to witness a statue of this character of 7 meters at the exit towards Covarrubias.
tarja: From French targe. In our post-war Castiles, poor childhood of our memories! it was a wooden cane or square in which the owner of the tavern or food store made notches to point out the legit. The cane or wood was in the hands of the buyer one half and the other in those of the legitator. Then some drank in the tavern on tarja, that is, the legit one, because, as they said, it was a inconvenience to carry many coins in his pocket and the bartender understood it.
eresictón: King of Thessaly who despised the gods, as the poet Ovid tells us in book VIII of Metamorphosis, lover of waste and banquets. To fix the roof of the banquet hall he decided to cut a sacred holm oak dedicated to Demeter, who disguised as a priestess wanted to dissuade him unsuccessfully, so he ordered Nemesis and Limos (hunger) revenge for this outrage. From then on Erisicton suffered an insatiable hunger. After spending his entire fortune he sold his daughter Mestra several times. Eresicton just ended his torment by eating himself,
alodinia: From Greek allos, another, different and odyne, pain. In medicine, neuropathic pain whose cause is in a malfunction of the nervous system channels that transmit the stimuli. When in most people these stimuli do not generate painful sensations the cause must be in the nerve network itself. But the ultimate cause is unknown. This abnormal perception of pain is a very serious problem for those with pain.
eszett: Own letter of the German alphabet that we don't normally have on our keyboard but that we can achieve by pressing the s with AltGr . It's this one. Equivalent to double ss after long vowel or diptongo. With uppercase, only double ss are used. I think in Switzerland where they also speak French and Italian they have eliminated it. We usually use the double ss instead as on strasse, but the Germans write strasse. They also call it scharfes s, that sharp one.
faun: German musical band released in Munich in 2002. His allusion to the god Fauno seeks the connection with Nature. His synchronous music unifies elements of Nordic and Mediterranean culture with medieval sacred music such as the cantigas of Santa Maria. In their concerts they use different languages from German and Latin to French, Spanish or Galaico-Portuguese with ancient musical instruments
jugar con candela: Americanism. Verbal locution equivalent to our "play with fire", take risks and expose yourself unnecessarily and in a frivolous way to danger. We often say that those who play with fire often end up burning.
quichicientos: The popular language five hundred, a very large amount. Some also say quiticientos, perhaps by influence of Italian or the most common in our Spanish : hundreds .
externstein: Rocks of the Teutoburg forest in northwestern Germany, near the Osnabruck triangle, Munster and Bielefeld with magical and nationalistic value. It was probably a Teutonic religious place before Christian monks arrived after Charlemagne's conquest in the 8th century. The monks carved images into the rock bending the tree of Irminsul, the ash of life that brought together heaven and earth. Today it is a tourist spot near the statue of Arminio.
lamia: Female character of Basque mythology similar to the classical nymphs and the xanas of the asturleoneses and Cantabrians and to the houses or daigua Catalan gifts, associated with caves, fountains and afterates of crystal clear water where they comb their long hairs with gold combs in the moonlight. Very attractive appearance however they have goat's feet, chicken or duck feet and in coastal areas, as Pío Baroja tells us, with fishtail, like mermaids. Many place names of the northern peninsular geography remind us of these pre-Christian legends.
pata de oca: One of the Viking runes, the rune algiz, symbol of master builders on the way to Santiago, present in places such as Nanclares de Oca, Leciñana de Oca, Villafranca Montes de Oca, the hermitage of the Virgin of the Oca or the valley of Anzó. Pilgrims were guided by the way of the daytime ansars and the milky way at night. This ípsilon-shaped Teuton symbol or our capital Greek Y, also used by the Templars, was in Norse mythology a sign of defense and protection.
bercianista: Follower of Bercianism, a sociopolitical initiative of some people of the Bierzo who want to extol this asturleonese region in the style of Teruel exists, because the desire to restore it as a province as happened during the liberal triennium in 1822 or uniprovincial autonomous community seems to me to be a quasi-nationalist effort. Currently some party such as the regionalist party of Bierzo maintain these objectives. My smallest land, Bercianos, was created around the second half of the ninth century by people of Bierzo in the repopulations of Ordoño I of Asturias and his son Alfonso III. That's why the Land of Berciana is also my land.
ulaguero: One of the offices disappeared in Spain from our memories. He was the person who collected the classrooms and sold them to cook bread especially in areas of alkaline land where there are no jars. In my asturleonese land where the soil is acidic were used and the jars are still used. They also designated with this name the classroom or land where classrooms abound.
chiflero: From Arabic ?ifra, blade, nut. Office disappeared from the inhabitants of Cantalejo in Segovia. Trillero, gacero, briquero, cantalejano.
abecedariano: Sect of the German Reform of the sixteenth century sometimes associated with anabaptism that defended illiteracy. Knowledge is neither necessary nor convenient for salvation, only the knowledge of the Holy Scriptures that can be obtained without literacy by the direct action of the Holy Spirit.
vegvísir: Magical Viking symbol of Icelandic origin similar to the rose of the winds also called Viking compass. In Nordic culture it has a protective and guiding purpose in the complicated situations of life. It seems that in Icelandic veg means vereda, trail and visir, guide.
circunceliones: From Latin circum cellas euntes, those who go from farm to farm. They were a heterogeneous group that emerged in North Africa in the early 4th century associated with donors. They called themselves agonistici, fighters of Christ, although St. Augustine considered them thieves and jumpers who did not respect the property because they raided the farms and released the slaves. They were also joined by an anti-Roman feeling.
primum non nocere: Primum non nocere : Full Latinism says : Primum non nocere , secundum cavere , tertium sanare : First of all do no harm, then prevent and finally heal . Ethical principle of physicians that although not listed as such in the Hippocratic Oath is as an attitude in this text. Medicine as an activity in the service of people just as education has all our respect and consideration, but they should never be speculative or used to enrich themselves.
exón: Sequence of a gene containing coded information for protein processing. Genes are DNA sequences of chromosomes present in the nucleus of cells. The genome or set of genes has the genetic information of a living being. The exoma is the set of exons of the genome genes. All are technical terms of biogenetics developed mainly in the twentieth century and on that path we continue in the 21st century. The term exon was coined by biochemist Walter Gilbert in the 1970s.
