XRe Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 My understanding is that it's actually the entire "shark family" - sharks, skates, rays, etc.... Millions of years unchanged, and pretty much perfected for their jobs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRe Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Avocado was the one i was looking for ,even a bannana has traces of fat Avocado - derived from Aztec "ahuacatl", which means both "fruit of the avocado tree" and "testicle" Imagine *that* next time you're eating guacamole salad at the local Mexican place....

John Dunn Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 It's been years since I've read Watership Down, but I believe rabbits can only count to three (after three it's some rabbit word for "a bunch"). 1...2...3...a crapload! So what does "Tharn" mean in the rabbit lexicon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what does "Tharn" mean in the rabbit lexicon? Rabbits only count to four. Anything above four is "hrair", which means "thousand". Fiver's real name was apparently Hrairoo - which means "little thousand". "Fiver" is an approximate translations, apparently. "Going tharn" is the "deer in the headlights" fear/panic reaction.... I guess I need to go read Watership Down again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRe Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 that would mean i was correct? Yes, Adams called him Fiver, as a translation shorthand. The rabbits didn't actually call him Fiver, though, as they had no concept of "five". They could count to four, and then it was Hrair. At least - that's my understanding of translations/interpretations of Adams' work IOW - yes, he was called Fiver. The rabbits could only count to four.
