Don't think it exists, Cheryl. Isn't it a brand name the Coca Cola company is using for their Fanta type lemonade with grapefruit in it? Never even thought it could be a real fruit

Awright, here're a couple more for your consideration:
Black rock – Coal Sleeping furs – Blankets Black rock is featured quite frequently in The Smallest Dragonboy, however in other books there's still mention of coal: Quote:
Quote:
As for the furs, there's never any mention of where all of these sleeping furs come from. I've come across descriptions such as 'light', 'dark', and 'silky'. In SoP there's quite a bit of skinning of big felines on the southern continent, but I doubt that's where all of the sleeping furs come from. I've never heard of using cattle for furs … if cattle are indeed herdbeasts. Bison, however, do produce quite valuable furs. Or perhaps sleeping furs are any type of heavy blanket. |

Thank you, Chris! Would you believe I thought those two were already in there?
![]() ![]() The one provision is that while sleeping furs means "bedding" rather than pure blankets because real blankets could very well exist, too! About Cromcoal, I thought it was the same as the generic blackrock but we could argue that, especially later in time, when the geological maps were found, it might have devolved into a brand name... although I'll list it with the blackrock entry.

I think I agree with Edith. Could even be sort of MS, couldn't it? Too many additional meanings to simply say that it's arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis: noun - : inflammation of joints due to infectious, metabolic, or constitutional causes; also : a specific arthritic condition
Sure sounds like joint-ail to me, but no matter; I've got another one for you to shoot down: Milkmother - Wet nurse |

Hmm, Hold seem more analogous with community whether that is a village, city or farmlet.
Beast Hold would be a hold devoted to raising livestock. Sea Hold to fishing in the sea. Hold generic, usually land farming but can include some beast stock. Can also be a major urban center. Some locations seems to have two or even 3 different types of holds there, all answering to the main holder. Fort, Ruatha, and Paradise River all come to mind. Also it seems that some Crafthalls are their own holds as well. Smithcraft and minercraft halls come to mind. |

Annachie, with all due respect; we're not looking for descriptions but for synonyms, equivalents.
Hold will never have an exact Terran equivalent as it can mean too many things, especially if a descriptive element/word is added. Things like greens would be called greens everywhere I think? It needs to be as good as certain that term A on Pern means the what we call B.

So, in the end I'm not sure if my argument is for or against blood oranges being red fruit. DSi doesn't mention anything about peeling, tho that could have been done prior to serving the and sections placed into serving bowls.

Okay... I probably should have put this all into one reply, but I kind of tried to go in order. And these, I think, are new to this thread:

American knicker is a contraction of knickerbocker
Its also used often by Arthur Ransome in the Swallow and Amazon books to refer to trousers , Roger Walker was well known in Swallowdale for using the "knickerbocker braker" as often as possible Nick

I think a dolphineer would be more akin to a modern oceanographer/rescue diver/fisheries biologist, as the dolphins are their partners, not their subjects. And modern dolphin trainers generaly deal more with behavioral science than marine biology.

Dolphineer, though I agree with you, I dont think there is an exact Terran equivalent of a Pernese dolphineer; so I won't be adding your suggestion to the list.
What we are looking for here are different names for the same "thing", not explanations or Terran "things" that come close ![]()

She posted a quote about it recently in another topic; I'll let you find it and re-post Chimmie!
But I'll say that it seemed pretty clear from the quote that hop-it was a hopscotch-like game. Do they have to be the exact same game/same rules to count for you? Or just a variation of a game played by hopping between squares chalked on the ground?

For a concordance it needs to be two names meaning the same thing, not something like it...
Now if the things are slightly different... well, the difference should be pretty marginal and small. I mean, it's OK to make a list of things that are alike but that does not constitute a concordance.

For me, a game where you have lines marked in chalk on the ground and you have to hop around, stay within the lines and keep your balance, is hopscotch.

I don't understand that last one. "Two were playing that game"? I don't understand how it's Pernese vs. Terran.
