Arbol Scientiae!! Hace años no estaba cerrado, por lo que las ramas del árbol se podían tocar directamente. Según mandaba la tradición, debías ponerte de espaldas al árbol y alcanzar con la mano una de sus ramas, al azar!! Y esa era la carrera que debías estudiar!!

Arbol Scientiae!! Many years ago,you could touch the branches of the tree directly (it was not covered). The tradition said you should place your back towards the tree and then try to reach one of the branches with your hand!! And that was suposed to be your profession!!

Eme Jota, lo cierto es que "HABÍA" más ramas en el árbol, pero empezaron a "llevárselas" a saber con que "oscuro" propósito...y finalmente se optó por hacer un cierre para preservar las ramitas q áun sobrevivian...

and the same to you Dear Crystal ! ..is that the study of the languages? ..if so English is a good one as we have beg borrowed and stole our words from around the globe . ;)

C.Vazquez, on January 8, 2008, said:
Yes, you are right again T. I´m afraid the right spelling is "philology". English is a very interesting language from the linguistc point of view and your phonetics are "awesome" ;)

yes we often get a choice of the gentle latin based word or the ruder anglo saxon and i guess both have their time and place ;) T
