linga
  20

1º_ It is one of the common names in the Philippines for the plants Sesamum orientale or Sesamum indicum and its seeds, it is a type of sesame that in Spanish is called sesame. 2º_ Linga is an Americanism used especially in Argentina as sling apheresis, for ropes, chains or any mooring webbing, also for the steel soul in self-supporting cables. Surely because of some association with league in Cuba it is used as "intercourse". 3º_ Linga is the name of several cities: in Jolo and in La Laguna ( Philippines ) ; in Sangha-Mbaéré, in Ouham and in Mbomou (Central African Republic), in Madhya Pradesh and in Gujarat ( India ) ; and also in Congo, Romania, Norway, Malaysia, Liberia, Greece, China and Australia. 4º_ The Hindu meaning of linga deserves its own theme, but as we are in a Spanish dictionary we will summarize it. It is a mystical and religious symbol better known as Shiva linga and according to mythology the god tested his worshippers by becoming a wandering profane who danced naked; They did not recognize him and prayed until, as punishment for his impudence, they managed to drop his penis, which crossed the ground to hell creating a column of light that reached the heavens. This was the beginning of the destruction of the world as a pity for having unknown Shiva, and could only be stopped with the help of the goddess Parvati who turned into Ioni ("vagina") captured the column-phallus. Hence Sanskrit 2354; 2367; 2329; 2381; 2327; 2306; ( lingam ) have many interpretations that have also come to our language, although for very limited circles: it can be penis, ymphalo, signal, characteristic, test, disguise, sexual gender, inference, something procreated that can be destroyed, a healing stone, . . .
