(as opposed to “moderately unique”??? – keep in mind that the meaning of ‘unique’ is ONE of a kind)
March 21, 2011 4:43 pm at 4:43 pm #797832☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantDaas, you forgot people who name their kids Yitzchak Isaac.
??? ????? 🙂
March 23, 2011 8:28 pm at 8:28 pm #797833Shticky GuyParticipantYitzchok Isaac is like many others eg:
???? ?????,
????? ?????,
????? ???? ? or Arye Leib ,
?????? ???,
??? ??? – ??? ?? ?? ??.
But this is supposed to be oxymorons not redundancies or repetitions, so how about this oxymoron: ?????? ????? – because ????? is from ?????? which means revealed, while ???? is from ???? ???? or hidden.
March 23, 2011 8:32 pm at 8:32 pm #797834YW Moderator-80Memberits not an oxymoron
megilas is the construct form of the word.
you can properly translate “Megilas Esther” as “the revealing of the hidden”
and that is not an oxymoron either as revealing something hidden just means that it WAS hidden but NOW is revealed
March 23, 2011 8:35 pm at 8:35 pm #797835WolfishMusingsParticipant???? ??????,?
????? ??????,?
????? ????? ?? ?or Arye Leib ,?
?????? ????,?
??? ??? – ??? ?? ?? ???.?
The third and fourth ones on the list are NOT redundancies (in the sense that the second one is). Yehuda does not mean lion and Binyomin does not mean wolf. Just because those people are associated with those animals does not mean that the two together mean the same thing.
The Wolf
March 23, 2011 8:39 pm at 8:39 pm #797836☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantBut this is supposed to be oxymorons not redundancies or repetitions,
I introduced some redundancies earlier.
redundancies or repetitions
That’s one!
March 23, 2011 8:58 pm at 8:58 pm #797837Shticky GuyParticipantBinyomin does not mean wolf
I was thinking the same as I was writing that. Anyway I’ll leave that to you. You should know!!
Mod 80: point taken. It was better than the Everest and bovine attempts anyway! Lol 🙂
