From Beveridge Webster:
What does "well-knit" mean in this context? -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 08:15, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
A EULA which I just had to sign contains the words "[The bag you're buying] can include, but is not limited to [a cat]". Is there any meaning left in this sentence? I'm asking merely from a logical point of view, just about language, and am not asking for any legal advise here. To me, it appears that both what it can and what it can't include have been watered down to the point of insignificance. ◅ Sebastian 08:15, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
According to our article Holden Torana 'The name comes from an Aboriginal word meaning "to fly"'. According to our article Australian Aboriginal languages there are at least 250 such languages. Which language is torana from? Thank you, DuncanHill ( talk) 22:13, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
Whatever language it is, i did some research, and it is not in Alyawarr, Dhanggati, Dhurga, Eastern or Central Arrernte, Gurgun Mibinyah, Mawng, Mudburra, Ngarinyman, Ngaanyatjarra, Ngaatjatjarra, Ngarrindjeri, Ngiyampaa, Pitjantjatjara / Yankunytjatjara, Sydney, or Umpithamu. Or, it might not come from any Aborginal language at all, and it might just be to make people think it's 'cool'. 104.187.66.104 ( talk) 20:27, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
