> BLOODY HELL!!! Alex! Don't you know YOUR OWN language? Can
anyone be so dumb? Why don't you consult an English dictionary
before you start correcting people who know what they're
talking about? _Anguis fragilis_ (the basic meaning of the
word and the first one given by yourself below) is the Latin
name of the BLINDWORM, also known as a SLOWWORM, a legless
lizard, not a real snake.

[Moeller] i dont have an english dictionary here:-( And
blindworm told me just a " vierme orb" or in German BlindWurm.
A lizard is not a wurm. That was what I tought. Is a lizard a
worm?:-))And beside this the usual meaning is serpent or
better said viper. I even didnt knew that "naparca" as small
boat is still in use. And you talk about worms:))) Why did you
not said lizard? I should understood imediatly:-)Grrr.
blindworm, hehehheheeheh
But insead of this I will pay atention not so much to naparca
as bad guy or Peitsche or worm. I guess is of more interest
the meaning serpent and specialy this smal boat.. this smal
boat is very interesting inded.. But you will blame me I try
again to get more "apa" in my list. It is enough to be just
one, even if we have more:-)
About the map. The map is a publciation from an Atlas of
Ancient World which was published in 1877 in NewYork.by two
brothers ( german I guess). But so long I cannot give you name
and editure it is of no use. I will grab for . Thi stime I
found alone this map and the infos about, I do not need to
wait from someone else....
