I would like to most enthusiastically welcome (and yes, that's a split infinitive) terriqat to our little corner of LiveJournal. Terri's a good friend and former roommate, and I'm very happy to see her here. (What is it about the narcotic Yemenite shrub, though, dare I ask?)

Also, there seems to be an icon-making meme going around; you request an icon, and I design one based on an interest from your interest list. Request away!

Requesting an icon! Do I have to pick a specific interest, or will you pick one? :-)

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

Either way. It's easier if I'm familiar with the particular interest, though.

You can pick one, then -- I love surprises!

How did you get the little face next to "terriqat" to look like that?

Nice and simple -- go here and follow instructions. :)

Look up QAT in your OED. Also, how is your medieval french? You see, in Talmud class, we are working from a manuscript version of Rashi, and no one bothered to translate his frequent forays into french. Since he lived around the first crusade, I figured you might be able to help ;)

Funny you should ask. I am actually taking a medieval Bible commentaries class in which, up to yesterday, we were reading Rashi in Hebrew -- and yesterday we discussed his tendency to write in OF.

My medieval French exists, but is out of practice. Send me the words and the context, and I will look the words up in my happy Old French dictionary. As I understand it, the forays are usually glosses, not long passages; I can do that.
