One thing I love about lichen hunting is all the other organisms you get to meet on your search. We recently went on a collection trip to find rare Ricasolia amplissima in the Alps, and look at all the native orchids I got to meet!

Nine, neun, negen

There are two types of words for 9 in the Germanic languages. Type 1 is g-less: there's German neun, Swedish nio, and Icelandic níu among others. Type 2 does have a g, as in Dutch negen, West Frisian njoggen, and Low Saxon negene. You'd think that English nine is type 1, but it used to have a g too: in Old English, it was nigon. It lost its g in Middle English. So did neun, nio and níu lost their g too? No, they've never had one. The g only evolved in the north-western branch of West Germanic. Words from other Indo-European branches, such as Latin novem, lack a g too. My new graphic tells you all about it.

“We have driven the Austrian troops from Bavaria, and restored our ally to the sovereignty of his dominions. That army, which, with equal presumption and imprudence, marched upon our frontiers, is annihilated.”

- Napoleon, 1805

I always dig Bavarian uniforms, the light blue of their flag is a nice little addition. The blue and white go together nicely.

🎄👹Merry Krampus!👹🎄

Hope you have/had great Christmas days!

Since I'm from Bavaria, I grew up with St. Nikolaus and Krampus. He was very very terrifying for us kids, every year I was scared he would take my brother because he was always so naughty as a kid 😂

Today I just think he's a pretty cool cryptid and I love to draw him :)
