Thanks, Hayim, for that information,
 
Can you answer my questions for Moses and queen?

Dear Fritz,
 
Certain things are looked favorably in one language and with disgust in
others. Look for example to the positive reflections in the name of
'ladybug' in some languages and opposite
tendencies in others. In some languages it is viewed as  
 
 "insect loved by God,  = French (bete a bon Dieu)
 
Mary,  = German (Marienkaferchen)
 
Moses,  Which language?
 
 queen";  Which language?
 
 
 in others as a simple bug. 
 
Best regards,
Hayim Sheynin
