wen: a cyst on the skin, hence "the Great Wen" = London. From Old English wenn, from proto-Germanic *wanjaz.

Oh, sorry - did you mean "win"?

[Tusky]

Sorry no, I meant wén

[Glaurung]

Thank you, I'm so glad you clarified that. So not "win" either, then.

[Tusky]

how about: wín

[Glaurung]

Ah, yes, that's the word! Let me savour it too: win

[Tusky]

I am still attempting to learn Russian, and since it's St. C and M day I shall attempt to say win in cyrillic

ВИН*

*Made tricky through lack of "w"

[Glaurung]

Ah, the eternal problem of transliteration - how to write words in a script that doesn't have letters for the sounds that you're trying to represent. Maybe "УИН" would be better?

[Tusky]

Maybe. I will combine them like some glorious linguistic Frankenstein

wин

[Glaurung]

Oops. I really must check this thread more often

[Tusky]

I was starting to wonder if you had given up on winning!

[Glaurung]

No, merely distracted, by something more urgent but less exciting.

[Tusky]

Back to the winning then!

[Glaurung]

Indeed. Yay! Can haz all the winz!

[Tusky]

yay!

oh you and your cat memes

[Glaurung]

Much win! So victory!
