• about 10 months ago, corylusavellana said: It's the latin name for the Common Hazel, named after the town of Avella by (according to Wikipedia) Linnaeus, from Leonhart Fuchs's De historia stirpium commentarii insignes (1542), where the species was described as "Avellana nux sylvestris" ("wild nut of Avella").
  
  It also sounds pretty!

  Ci vediamo alla fontana?

I studied Italian for the first half of my time there and then wrote a couple of books. In the end I left because I'd done what I set out to do, and because it's hard to get long-term legal status when you are extracommunitario. But I have plenty of excuses to go back, which is good!

  Oh wow, now we can say very bad things about Wordies in our secret language!
