I went to the Word Slavic Writing Museum and saw my favorite letter Ѯ (ksi). Peter the Great later got rid of it in his Civil Script. The text in the image explains its origins from the ξ, which in its turn comes from the 𐤎 (Samekh). It's not known for sure what Samekh means but the speculated meaning relates to something you lean against, like a pole.

(edit: repost since I noticed the original post wasn't updating properly...)

Map showing select / colonies and settlements with their known or reasonably suggested endonymic names.

This map is more information card than eye-candy, with a look-up table of settlements, being a review of almost 90 different sources. As always all information is on the image. There are two versions here: A and B, with B being for if A is too hard to read.

I did try to automate citations due to the ridiculous amount of reading. There may be errors due to the software.

I watched one of those rolling programmes about the ancient world and wondered if some ancient ever said ‘Tired of , tired of life’.

TIL that the Punic surname “Barca”, as in the Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca (and his father Hasdrubal), is Phoenician for “lightning”. I don’t know how I never made the connection before, given that Phoenician is Semitic and I speak Hebrew (where the same √brq root is also used to mean “lightning”). I guess my brain is just in full on Latin Mode or something when I’m thinking of ancient Rome? Anyway - Hannibal “Lightning” Barca! ⚡️
