StarwarsKid StarwarsKid Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2005-06-15 Posts: 506 Loc: Oregon, USA	Okay, okay. I see the word "basta" used extensively here at KiXtart.org and must ask the question, "What does it mean?" Dictionary.com defines it as: Quote: basta \Bas"ta\, interj. [It.] Enough; stop. --Shak. The context of its use doesn't always seem to fit with this definition. Can anyone clarify for me? _________________________ let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance- Proverbs 1:5

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	well... that has nothing to do with our basta. would be more like the ones you get from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=basta like "a german band" really, there is no simple meaning for the word. not a single dictionary will have our own word listed. anyway, what comes to the goddess: http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/tellbasta.htm http://www.moggies.co.uk/bastet/bastet.html _________________________ ! download KiXnet

This is just the way we use it in Dutch. It isn't strange it is also a Spanish word because they have ruled the Netherlands centuries ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighty_Years%27_War _________________________ Co

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	ja, I noted that "ya basta!" thing too. nice to see that we have invented new word that actually has already been there. and that's why dict is no good choice to deal with these words. silly that 80 year war as clearly there was only about 2 years of war spanned across those decades. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
