打树花 Weaving Tree Flowers is an ancient folk tradition that originated in Nuanquan Town, Weixian County, Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, and is a provincial-level intangible cultural heritage of China.

With a history of more than 500 years, molten iron is sprinkled onto the wall of the ancient city, bursting into thousands of sparks called the ‘tree crown’. It is no less spectacular than setting off fireworks.

It is said that there were many blacksmith workshops in Nuanquan. During Spring Festival, rich people would set off fireworks to celebrate. The blacksmiths were also eager for a lively celebration but could not afford fireworks. There is a folk saying: ‘the rich set off fireworks, the poor weave tree flowers’. The tree flower was originally performed on the castle wall, but because the venue was narrow and there were more and more tourists coming to see the performance, the town later built the ‘world’s first tree flower castle square’ especially to cater to large crowds of audiences.

I watched this video earlier today and it blew my mind. (Sorry, no subtitles.) This round thing is called ปลาวง plaa wong (ปลา plaa = fish; วง wong = round) and I always assumed it was some kind of bundle of flattened small fish. Turns out, it’s accordion-sliced, sun-dried stingray (ปลากระเบน plaa kràben) meat! (Don’t watch the video if you are squeamish about fish being prepared.)

They deep fry the dried ปลาวง at the end to make a snack that the presenter says is crispy and very delicious. (The two other dishes they make use fresh ray meat.) I may have to try it for myself next time I’m at the market.

Both these words have their roots in Sanskrit. चाल comes ultimately from the same root as चलना, to walk, to move. जाल on the other hand has a plethora of meanings in Sanskrit, including a net for catching fish or birds, a hair net and even a lion's mane, cool.

katfishkronch

I looked up the same roots in Thai to see if there were any cognates.

ชาล(-) - chān or chālá - Skt jāla - net or spiderweb

ชาลกรรม - chālákam - Skt jāla + karma - fishing (kam is a suffix for nouns; think something like ‘netting’)

จร - jon - move (but seems more common as part of a compound, like jalanasat, kinetics)

All of these are so rare that they’re only in the Royal Institute Dictionary, from what I can tell.

katfishkronch

Mere hours after I posted this, I was doing my daily hour of reading in the Ramachandra portion of King Rama VI’s 1923 Lilit Narai Sip Pang and and I discovered that จร as a verb of motion is really common in verse. It’s one syllable and absurdly easy to rhyme. I checked his Phra Non Kham Luang as well, and it’s there too. (Not sure what relation it has to the Sanskrit parallel/inserted text, because I’m not working on that right now.) I guess จร is one of those tiny words that’s so easy to infer from context/seems to be more about metrics and rhyme that I never stopped to look it up.

Bengali word of the day: সমতল (sômotôl)

English: flat, plain

Etymology:

Sanskritic formation from सम (sama) +‎ तल (tala). Compare Hindi समतल (samtal), Gujarati સમતલ (samtal), Romani samtalo.

Example:

রেললাইন বানানোর জন্য সমতল ভূমি লাগে। তাই পাহাড়ি অঞ্চলে এটি বানানো কঠিন।

rellāin bānānor jonno sômotôl bhūmi lāge. tāi pāhāṛi ôñcôle eṭi bānāno koṭhin.

It requires flat land to build railways. That is why it's so difficult to build them in hilly areas.

It looks cool though...

Bengali word of the day: অভাব (ôbhāb)

English: lack, deficiency, absence

Etymology:

From Sanskrit অভাৱ (abhāva, of the same meaning) > অ (not) + ভাৱ (existing, continuance) > অ + (ভূ + অ) [From ভূ (bhū, “to be; to become”, root) +‎ -অ (-a, nominalization suffix) with vṛddhi and internal sandhi.]

Example:

কিছু মানুষের মাথায় বাস্তবিক বুদ্ধির অভাব থাকে।

kichu mānuṣer māthāy bāstobik buddhir ôbhāb thāke.

Some people have a lack of common sense in their heads.

Thanks @liberimperium for the sentence xd

Words in Marathi

ओझे

[ozhe], uncountable noun (neuter)

Alternate form: ओझं [ozha]

load, burden

इतकं ओझं मला उचलायला जमणार नाही. [itka ozha malā učlāylā zamṇār nāhī] I won't be able to lift such a burden.

Origin

Old Marathi ओझें [ojheṅ] or बोझें [bojheṅ], from Maharashtri Prakrit वोज्झ [vojjha], from Sanskrit वह्य [vahya] ("fit to be carried", portable bed or palanquin), from Proto-Indo-European *wóǵʰ-yo-s (“fit to be carried”), from *weǵʰ- (“to carry, draw”).

Marathi Grammar - The curious use of the question word कसले

Marathi has a question word that has no direct equivalent in English. It’s called कसले [kasle], and it is inflected for gender and number.

In practical usage, कसले [kasle] is used to mean ‘of what’. For instance:

तो आवाज कसला होता? [to āvāz kaslā hotā] (Of) what was that sound?

त्याला कसला वास आला? [tyālā kaslā vās ālā] (Of) what did he smell? (lit. Of what was the smell that came to him?)

In this usage, it is synonymous with कशाचे [kaśāče], which is a word that more literally means ‘of what’.

However, कसले [kasle] can be used in another sense, which we will see below.

LA QUEMA DEL AÑO VIEJO / THE BURNING OF THE OLD YEAR: One part of the New Year celebration in Ecuador (alongside other Latin American countries) includes the burning of Años Viejos / Monigotes, dolls made of paper maché and old clothes. Accompanied by their viudas, they are burnt to dispel all of the misfortune of the past year so that those who burn them can have a fresh start to the new year. The dolls portray political figures as well as figures from pop culture - my host mom even reports having seen a Donald Trump one year.
