Actually I missed a few linguistic explanation on the word red: She mentioned: ahmar in arabic, surkh in turkish, kirmizi in persian. <br />She then extended names of different reds: (crimson, terra cotta, vermilion, pink, carnelian, fuschia, ruby, scarlet...)<br />She added that in the Arabic language, there are 50 words to describe red. Too bad she did not make that listing; it would have been interesting to compare.sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11345382125846700249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602658472142124593.post-1434621679407455562009-10-20T12:16:16.427+03:002009-10-20T12:16:16.427+03:00It was a very interesting lecture and you summariz...It was a very interesting lecture and you summarized it superblyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16066126398294429441noreply@blogger.com
