robincrutan I don't know who created the persian bird but I know where the definition came from: And among the teachings of His Holiness Bahá'u'lláh is the equality of women and men. The world of humanity has two wings -- 30 one is woman and the other man. Not until both wings are equally developed can the bird fly. Should one wing remain weak, flight is impossible. Not until the world of woman becomes equal to the world of man in the acquisition of virtues and perfections, can success and prosperity be attained as they ought to be.
(Abdu'l-Baha, Foundations of World Unity, p. 29)
Both Abdu'l-Baha and his father Baha'u'llah were born in Persia. Jul 19, 2010
dontcry Done rt! Jul 24, 2008
reesetee Thanks for the confirmation, bilby. You'd think they could come up with a better way to avoid plagiarism than sending us all down the wrong path.
Dontcry, you must add that phrase to your Wordie vocabulary immediately! :-) Jul 23, 2008
dontcry Our Tom Tom must have been using one of those mountweazels when it dragged us through the woods for miles on an unpaved road in the Laurel Mountains last weekend. I'll refer to those harrowing hours forevermore as Mountweazel's Revenge. Jul 18, 2008
bilby rt, we commissioned a designer to do street maps for a guide book I co-wrote. Yep, false streets were in. In one case she put a curve in a street that wasn't there in real life. Jul 18, 2008
sionnach article about dictionaries and lexicographer infighting Apr 14, 2008
skipvia It must have been tough going through life with a name like Mountweazel. Oct 28, 2007
reesetee Sionnach, I've heard that current mapmakers have a similar mechanism to avoid plagiarists--planting a false "street" somewhere on a local map. Oct 28, 2007
sionnach a fake word or name invented by reference-book editors to trap plagiarists. It comes from Lillian Virginia Mountweazel, whose (fake) entry in an edition of the New Columbia Encyclopedia was a triumph of the form. (“Mountweazel�? died in an explosion while on assignment for Combustibles magazine.)
