Hello! I have a manual dial thermostat by Robert Shaw (not sure I can post pictures in this sub, but happy to DM) that I'd like to replace with something WiFi enabled. I'm clueless, so I'd like to know what options are available to me and what's suggested as this is a DIY undertaking. TIA!
ON SOME MYTHICAL WORDS IN A 19th CENTURY UYGHUR DICTIONARY by Fikret YILDIRIM.
Robert Barkley Shaw’s Uyghur‐English dictionary called "A Sketch of the Turki Language as Spoken in Eastern Turkistan" (Kashghar and Yarkand) is an important source for the researchers studying on Modern Uyghur language & culture. In his dictionary, Shaw not only gives simply English definitions of the Uyghur words but he also sometimes gives detailed information about Uyghurs’ and other Turkic peoples’ cultural features. Also, this dictionary includes some entries about mythical beliefs, magical activities, and superstitions of Uyghurs. Especially, in this article, we focused on the general names of soothsayers, magicians or shamans that took roles among Uyghurs. Belonging to this sphere we gave the brief etymological and cultural background of six words (rambal [رمبال rambal], ḳuşnaç [قوشناچ qushnâch], yaġrünçi [ياغرونچي yaghrün‐chi], sinçi [سينچي sin‐chi], arbaḳçi [ارباقچي arbáq‐chi], and közluk [كوزلوک köz‐luk]) that we collected from Shaw’s dictionary. Also, concerning to the mourning tradition of Uyghurs we laid stress on the word ḳaraliḳ [قاراليق qara‐liq]. Through this word, we tried to show how the religions and the cultures integrate into each other.
In the Uyghur-English dictionary, A Sketch of the Turki Language as Spoken in Eastern Turkistan (Kàshghar and Yarkand), besides Uyghurs, Shaw sometimes gives detailed information about other Turkistan dwellers’ or nomads’ traditions and shows their beliefs about the world. In this dictionary, we can see which mythical methods Uyghurs used while they were curing a patient or which events Kazaks thought as evil. From Shaw’s dictionary, I (by Fikret Yıldırım) collected 17 words related to the myths, superstitions and magic. These words are as below:
-
albasti [البستي albasti] “a night-mare, an incubus”
-
arbaḳçi [ارباقچي arbáq-chi] “one who uses such charms” → Its cognates: arbamaḳ [ارباماق arba-máq] آربات{م}اق] arbatmaḳ, àrba’-t-máq], arbaşmaḳ [آرباشماق àrba’-sh-máq] , arbaḳ [ارباق àrbá’q]
-
azġun [آزغون az-ghun] “some influence which causes men to lose their way (a local superstition in the Takla-makán desert)
-
ḳaraliḳ [قاراليق qara-liq] “in mourning (which in Yarkand consists in not shaving, putting on white and not-coloured clothes, &c.)”
-
közluk [كوزلوک köz-luk]10 “far-sighted, long-sighted; also, gifted with the evil eye [supposed to be a great advantage as the possessor
My wife and I have been debating this and I would like to know what people here think. I think he should have won for best supporting actor but he didn’t even get nominated! This is hard for me to wrap my mind around, am I totally off base?
Whenever they air it on TV, I always skip the first few hours just to watch the scenes Robert Shaw is in. IMO it's the Quint character that makes the entire movie. I actually find him more compelling than the shark itself.
