ry but that etymology is totally apocryphal. welp, never mind, not to begrudge you some wordplay, at all, no sir!
(But, I think with "thresh" reported (by etymonline.com) to have a root meaning "stomp" or "step," the probable original phrase meant something like stomp-bump) Dec 12, 2012
fbharjo Look at the etymological history of threshold. Some conjecture that the threshold was the element of the doorway to pile the thresh against to keep out the cold! Going through liminal space often involves tripping over a stumbling stone? Unknown particles are infinitely knowable? Isn't that (swell) schwelle! Dec 5, 2012
ry Not sure how this works, fbharjo, but thanks, and also: what?
wait: you
cannotlogically can't back-form the phrase "hold thresh" from threshold because the hold particle is of unknown origin! Dec 4, 2012fbharjo It is hard to hold thresh without a stumbling stone! Dec 4, 2012
ry many of these filched from liminal-words Dec 4, 2012
