Subject: Herkunft Vor- und Zuname

Hallo Freunde,

heute habe ich eine Bitte.

Es ist mir bisher nicht gelungen, Herkunft und Bedeutung  (Vor- und Zunamen)
zu erkunden.
1.  Lionella    (Italien ?)
2.  Pegas      (slawisch ?)

So langsam stellt sich hier der Winter ein...

Hanne

Beste Laaglanders,

Following the Copenhagen climate talks a bit, I came across a quintessential
term in (Western) politics: the filibuster.
By extending a debate on and on, the filibuster tries to delay or even
prevent voting.

No surprise the word is of Dutch origin: filibuster < filibustero (Spanish
for freebooter) < flibustier (French) < vrijbuiter (D).

Kind greetings,

Luc Hellinckx, Halle, Belgium
