I would be satisfied already if it becomes a peaceful year!

So, a peaceful year to everyone who earns it. :wink:

Thank you J_D_, the same to you and all puppy linux friends...i hope 2019 will bring peace and contentment around the world, but i'm a realist - unfortunately, humans being what they are, that's an impossible dream...nevertheless, i wish everyone here all the best.

Cheers from south Oz,
russoodle :)

BTW, english not being my native, I wonder, is "pupster" male? In my native, dutch, words ending on 'ster' indicate female.

I would say 'pupster' is pretty much gender-free, like monster or dumpster. :lol:

I am actually belgian, but I can approve wishing the Dutch guys and girls well wishes as well, though with some hesitations. ;-)
Santé to all!

I may be wrong...
Correct me if I am...

I am of the opinion that:
"Sister" is a shortened version of...
Si[te]-[A]ster = Site-Star.
i.e. The person who chooses/determines the [camp/abiding] site or seat.
The place to locate the house or home.

That "ster" is short for Aster or Star.
And a "Star" [still used today] is a "special"/great person who "shows the way"/guides/directs.
Inspiration or role-model.

Are females well known for this and generally accepted as such?
Think of your own mother.
Did she not guide you as she raised you?

Beautiful explanation!
I believe it, whether it is true or not. :)

In dutch there are a lot of words with -aar or -er or -eur, derived from a verb and indicating the 'doer'. Though this is male, it is in fact used mostly for both men and women.
But there is often also a female form. What this female form is, can be quite complicated: -ares or- -eres or -aarster or -ster or -rice ... .
Linguistics can derive from this how and when the words came into use in dutch.

Indeed, female forms can be, complicated. :twisted:

Thanks to Flash and Sylvander for the language lessons.

It looks like 2019 is going to be a "learned" year!

To sum it up:
Happiness, Peace, Prosperity and a Ph.D. ;) to all of you pupsters,
monsters and dumpsters :lol: in 2019 !

Re: Monsters...
Mono-Asters.
ie. Believers in the 1 star = mono-theists.
In the previously existing belief system it was self-evident that the heavens were populated with INNUMERABLE stars [gods].
So these mono-theists were literally MONSTERS.

Demons[trators]...
De-mono-aster-ators.
Those who opposed the "Monsters"?

Monsters and their "Demons".
