Rüdiger Butte RIIP ... butt...

The Deaths in 2013 site lists the following under today's date, April 26th:
Rüdiger Butte, 63, German politician, shot.[1]
His surname, Butte, stands out because of my habit of writing the word "but" as "butt" in my blogs, a little twist that I started due to an incident involving Robert Butts as per my March 9, 2010 post (Here).  Butte passing away could bee sheer coincidence, butt then again it could be an addition to the communication puzzle.  Note this excerpt taken from http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Butte
The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Walter But, which was dated 1114 - 1130, in the "Cartularium Monasterii de Rameseia", Norfolk, during the reign of King Henry 1, known as "The Lion of Justice", 1100 - 1135.
Interesting re: "The Lion of Justice", especially when you consider that while compiling my post yesterday (Here), the word "lion" had cropped up twice!! Note this excerpt:


The name of the Police spokes person, "Leonard",  has Leo in it which means "Lion" and then note the name of the Resort -- "Lion Sands".  This is not the first time that the subject of lion's have cropped up, so it's always good to check the etymology:
lion (n.)  from Old French lion "lion," figuratively "hero," from Latin leonem (nominative leo) "lion

Note the following etymology:

  • but (adv., prep.) from West Germanic  *be- "by" (see by) + *utana "out, outside
  • butt (n.1) "thick end,"  Low German butt "blunt, dull," Old Norse bauta (see beat)
  • butt (n.3) "target of a joke," from Old French but "aim, goal, end, target, 
  • butt (n.4) "flat fish," c.1300
  • butt (v.) "hit with the head," "to strike, beat", from PIE root *bhau- "to strike"
  • butte (n.) from French butte, from Old French but "mound, knoll" 
I decided to key in "Butte" to this blogs search box and surprisingly my July 9th, 2012 post entitled, 2 Leo's: Lionel Batiste and Leon Schlumpf (RIIP) was brought up in the mix.  Interesting, the post even talks about my "Expert Report" presented during a pretrial hearing... a report that was snuffed out.  Perhaps the inner twin world are bringing this forward now as a means of encouraging ACJ Smith to reconsider her stance in this regard.
