Echo Ecidna is AI, and the background is photo.

Thank you for your comment Nov. 24, 2020, in answer to my previous, same-day observations and question.

The name Cheviots makes me mull French origins.

But English Wikipedia presents Cheviots, in its The Cheviot article, as first rendered Chiuiet. That article suggests a Brittonic origin, from *ceμ- ("a ridge") and -ed ("having the quality of").

Would there be any local origin stories behind the place name Cheviots?

Thank you!

That's a bit disappointing, a bit sobering to mull "evidence of physical violence in The English neolithic."

Might that be common or rare England-wise and elsewhere?

Thank you!

That sounds so interesting and yet so lonely of one Roman ghost in the same space.

Would there be any interpretations as to whether or not he would be looking for someone or something?

Thank you for your comments March 14, 2020, in answer to my previous, same-day questions.

Elsewhere I considered Unitedstatesian customs of metal cans left decoratively and micronutrient-leachingly in home gardens and in lawns needing building-up nutrient-wise.

Might that be a far less tiring way of building up soil health?

(But I wonder how many would be needed ;-D ?!)

The character Thorfinn Ragnarson gets my attention.

That is such an Icelandic name (and that last name is part of the name of my favorite author, Ragnar Jónasson).

Thorfinn, from Þorfinnr, means "thunder wanderer" (from Old Norse Þor finnr).

Ragnar, from Ragnarr, means "power (of the gods) army" (from Old Norse regin -arr/-herr).

Might that name be common among Orkney Islands-ers?

The north, the south and the west lawns naturally host wild onions here.

Online sources identify wild onions as fermentable into wild-onion wine.

Might you ever have made your own onion wine or tasted it?

Thank you for your comments March 21, 2023, in answer to my previous, same-day questions.

The last sentence advises us that the Channel Isles and the Isle of Man "make their own laws, but are subject to the British state for international matters."

Do international matters duty them to military service and to wartime drafts?

The third paragraph to the first subheading, The fourth identity, advises us that "The ancient Phoenicians even made the long and dangerous journey from Lebanon into the Atlantic to the place that they called the Cassiterides, the Tin Isles, to purchase this metal essential to smelting bronze."

Is it not extreme wear-and-tear on Phoenician sailors and ships to load up on British-Isles tin?

Might Cornish tin have had some unique qualities that mustered up such long-distance patronage?

Otherwise, should there have been tin sources much closer to Phoenician customers?

Thank you!

How much time time accounts for and how roughly or smoothly that time goes by interest me.

Is time perhaps composed and experienced and gone by differently spiritually than worldly? Might Old Testament time and New Testament time not be the same even as the old covenant and the new covenant shelter differences?

Thank you for your comments Aug. 1, 2017, in answer to my previous, same-day questions.

You list chickpeas and sweet potatoes as plants that make it to your "bucket-listed" plants that never niche at all in your northwest gardens.

Might they prove possible as indoor-propagated vegetables?

The first example, Hop o' my thumb, under the first characteristic, Fast and bloodthirsty, reminds me of the giant there sharing daughters with his (giant-sized) Mrs.

All the daughters should have been giant-sized then, correct?

(That was not clear to me in the well-knownest images!)

Thank you!

Echo the echidna images so appealingly.

Might that image be all Jo or part AI and part Jo?

The last sentence to the right of the first in-text image under the third subheading, Parklands in Cunnamulla, alerts us to "a rest stop for free coffee for the weary driver."

What kind of coffee might that be?

These characteristics and their examples are such a mesmerizing read.

(This wizzley as a book or a graphic novel belongs among bestsellers to my way of thinking ;-D!)

Hop o' my thumb concerns us with -- ;-D -- Mr. and Mrs. Giant, correct?

if so, then the giant-sized wife does not epitomize the bloodthirsty, fast characteristics of her husband, right?

Is there any other fairy tale of a giantess or of a giantess on her own, or with a giant-sized spoused, bloodthirsty and fast, naive, stupid or friendly?
