by (prep., adv.)

Old English be- (unstressed) or bi (stressed) "near, in, by, during, about," from Proto-Germanic *bi"around, about," in compounds often merely intensive (source also of Old Saxon and Old Frisian bi"by, near," Middle Dutch bie, Dutch bij, German bei "by, at, near," Gothic bi "about"), from PIE *bhi, reduced form of root *ambhi- "around."

pour (v.)

"to cause (liquid or granular substance) to flow or stream either out of a vessel or into one," c. 1300, of unknown origin. Not in Old English; perhaps from Old French (Flanders dialect) purer "to sift (grain), pour out (water)," from Latin purare "to purify," from purus "pure" (see pure).

pore (n.)

late 14c., "minute opening, small orifice, or perforation" in the earth, a tree, the body of a human, animal, or insect, a bone, etc.," from Old French pore (14c.) and directly from Latin porus "a pore," from Greek poros "a pore," literally "passage, way" (from PIE *poro- "passage, journey," suffixed form of PIE root *per- (2) "to lead, pass over").

fur (n.)

late 14c. "trimming or lining of a garment" (implied c. 1300 in surname Furhode "fur hood"), probably from Old French forrer, fourrer "cover with fur, line (clothing)," in general "to cover, fill with," from fuerre "sheath, scabbard" (via notion of "covering"), from Frankish *fodr or another Germanic source, from Proto-Germanic *fodram "sheath" (source also of Old Frisian foder "coat lining," Old High German fotar "a lining," German Futter, Gothic fodr "sword sheath"), from PIE root *pa- "to feed, protect."

fore (adv., prep.)

Old English fore (prep.) "before, in front of, in presence of; because of, for the sake of; earlier in time; instead of;" as an adverb, "before, previously, formerly, once," from Proto-Germanic *fura "before" (source also of Old Saxon fora, Old Frisian fara, Old High German fora, German vor, Danish for, Old Norse fyrr, Gothic faiura "for"), from PIE *prae-, extended form of root *per- (1) "forward," hence "in front of, before."

1620s, "equality in value or circumstances," also "value of one currency in terms of another," from Latin par "equal, equal-sized, well-matched," also as a noun, "that which is equal, equality," a word of unknown and disputed origin. De Vaan is noncommittal. Watkins suggests perhaps from PIE root *pere- (2) "to grant, allot," with suggestion of reciprocality. Another guess connects it with PIE root *per- (5) "to traffic in, sell

parka (n.)

1780, "hooded outer garment made of skins, worn by Eskimos," from Aleut parka, from Russian parka "a pelt or jacket made from pelt," which is said to be from Samoyed, a Uralic language spoken in Siberia. 

part (n.)

mid-13c., "division, portion of a whole, element or constituent (of something)," from Old French part"share, portion; character; power, dominion; side, way, path," from Latin partem (nominative pars) "a part, piece, a share, a division; a party or faction; a part of the body; a fraction; a function, office," related to portio "share, portion," from PIE root *pere- (2) "to grant, allot.

port (n.1)

"a bay, cove, inlet, or recess of a large body of water where vessels can load and unload and find shelter from storms; a harbor, whether natural or artificial," Old English port "a port, harbor, a place where there is a constant resort of vessels for the purpose of loading and unloading;" also "a town, market town, city," reinforced by Old French port "harbor, port; mountain pass." The Old English and Old French words both are from Latin portus "a port, harbor," figuratively "haven, place of refuge, asylum" (in Old Latin also "a house;" in Late Latin also "a warehouse"), originally "an entrance, a passage," akin to porta "a city gate, a gate, a door" (from PIE *prtu- "a going, a passage," suffixed form of root *per- (2) "to lead, pass over").

parch (v.)

late 14c., "to roast or dry" (peas, beans, corn, etc.), a word of uncertain origin. Klein and OED reject derivations from Old North French perchier (Old French percer) "to pierce" and Latin persiccare "to dry thoroughly." Century Dictionary, The Middle English Compendium, and Barnhart suggest it could be from Middle English perchen, a variant of perishen "to perish" (see perish).

perish (v.)

late 13c., perishen, "to die, be killed, pass away; suffer spiritual death, be damned," from periss-present participle stem of Old French perir "perish, be lost, be shipwrecked" (12c.), from Latin perire"to be lost, perish," literally "to go through," from per "through, completely, to destruction" (from PIE root *per- (1) "forward," hence "through") + ire "to go" (from PIE root *ei- "to go").

park (n.)

mid-13c., "tract of land enclosed as a preserve for beasts of the chase," from Old French parc "enclosed wood or heath land used as a game preserve" (12c.), probably ultimately from West Germanic *parruk"enclosed tract of land"

percolation (n.)

"the act of straining or filtering through some porous material," 1610s, from Latin percolationem(nominative percolatio) "a straining through; the act of filtering," noun of action from past-participle stem of percolare "to strain through, filter," from per "through" (from PIE root *per- (1) "forward," hence "through") + colare "to strain,

warm (adj.)

Old English wearm "warm," from Proto-Germanic *warmaz (source also of Old Saxon, Old Frisian, Middle Dutch, Old High German, German warm, Old Norse varmr, Gothic warmjan "to warm"), of uncertain origin. On one guess it is from PIE root *gwher- (source of Greek thermos "warm;" Latin formus "warm," Old English bærnan "to kindle"). On another guess it is connected to the source of Old Church Slavonic goriti "to burn," varŭ "heat," variti "to cook, boil;" and Lithuanian vérdu, virti"to seethe."

worm (n.)

Old English wurm, variant of wyrm "serpent, snake, dragon, reptile," also in later Old English "earthworm," from Proto-Germanic *wurmiz (source also of Old Saxon, Old High German, German wurm, Old Frisian and Dutch worm, Old Norse ormr, Gothic waurms "serpent, worm"), from PIE *wrmi- "worm" (source also of Greek rhomos, Latin vermis "worm," Old Russian vermie "insects," Lithuanian varmas "insect, gnat"), from PIE *wrmi- "worm," from root *wer- (2) "to turn, bend."

bar (n.1)

late 12c., "stake or rod of iron used to fasten a door or gate," from Old French barre "beam, bar, gate, barrier" (12c.), from Vulgar Latin *barra "bar, barrier," which some suggest is from Gaulish *barros"the bushy end" [Gamillscheg, etc.], but OED regards this as "discredited" because it "in no way suits the sense." Welsh bar "a bar, rail," Irish barra "a bar, spike" 

bear (v.)

Old English beran "to carry, bring; bring forth, give birth to, produce; to endure without resistance; to support, hold up, sustain; to wear" (class IV strong verb; past tense bær, past participle boren), from Proto-Germanic *beranan (source also of Old Saxon beran, Old Frisian bera "bear, give birth," Middle Dutch beren "carry a child," Old High German beran, German gebären, Old Norse bera "carry, bring, bear, endure; give birth," Gothic bairan "to carry, bear, give birth to"), from PIE root *bher- (1) "carry a burden, bring," also "give birth"

Hairy Summers Sings Psychs Burg (Ice) Trainer

I just watched on Netflix, Outstanding: a Comedy Revolution, and when gay comedian Wanda Sykes came on the scene, I did a double take when she mentions that she and her wife were just married on October 25th.  So what is it that the inner twin world wants me to see, other than the cryptic communication obviously in her surname— Sykes = psychs, an addition to the “Name that Sounds Like a Word, Butt Spelled Differently” pattern cluster.   This reminds me now of another film (true story about Veronica Guerin) that I recently watched, and because it so moved me, I investigated her wiki page, where a surname cropped up that’s also an addition to the cluster, note this excerpt:  

When she began to cover drug dealers and gained information from convicted drugs criminal John Traynor, she received numerous death threats.

Traynor = trainer.  So the cryptic communication expands —“ psychs trainer”. Note from his wiki page: 

John "the Coach" Traynor (1948 – 24 October 2021)

October 24th is also meaningful, first because it’s an addition to the prolific “Off By One” pattern cluster,… as in one day off from October 25, a date that cropped up a number of times as of late, and also because it has personal significance (three members of my (now ex) life partners family were born on October 25– Bob Currie (brother in law); Katie Bennett (niece); Nick Bennett (nephew),.. Katie is Nick’s older sister).  Pattern clusters, are generated by the inner twin world as a means of communicating to our outer twin world.  This means that they are able to influence dates of birth, as they do deaths. 

Turning to Sykes wikipedia page, one of her films was released in 2000– another prompt by the inner twin world for us to investigate further, and do note the surname “Klumps” gives us “clumps”!!  

2000

Nutty Professor II: The Klumps

Chantal

• Melinda McGraw (born October 25, 1968)
• Earl Boen (August 8, 1941 – January 5, 2023) 
• Freda Charcilia Payne (born September 19, 1942)
• Wanda Yvette Sykes^[1] (born March 7, 1964)
• Jamal Mixon (born June 17, 1983)
• Richard Gant (born March 10, 1944)
• Lawrence John Miller (born October 15, 1953)
• David Louis Newman (born March 11, 1954)

And we have another October 25– an indication that we’re on the “wright” track.  And August 8th is also the birthday of my ex husband.  Also note the surnames that are additions to the cluster … and so adding to the overall cryptic communication —“bone, pain, psychs, clumps, cocks… “.  Hmmm?!  We also have a “March 7, …__, 10, 11/Date Sequence” pattern cluster, and prompt for us to bridge the March 9 gap, using the formula as per usual we arrive at the following three: 

• 1999 – Harry Somers, Canadian pianist and composer (b. 1925)
• 1999 – George Singh, Belizean jurist and Chief Justice of Belize (b. 1937)
• 2000 – Jean Coulthard, Canadian composer and educator (b. 1908)

Do note the names Harry, Somers and Singh that are additions to the above cluster… giving us “hairy summers sing”.  Note from their wiki pages: 

• Harry Somers (September 11, 1925 – March 9, 1999)
• George Bawa Singh (May 1937 – 9 March 1999)
• Jean Coulthard (February 10, 1908 – March 9, 2000) 

Well, September 11 speaks cryptic volumes that jives with “hairy summers”… and September 11 aka 9/11 is summer… and the 111th day of the year!!!  And so this brings us to applying the “one off” cluster the notables listed immediately above and below the three above, that reveals : 

Terence Joseph Nation (8 August 1930 – 9 March 1997)

A triple oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!!! We now have an “August 8(x3)” pattern cluster.   And the surname Nation is “one off” in that it’s spelled “wright”.  

As with any post, I investigate notable deaths occurring on the day of the post, to choose one from each of the last two days who jive, and so arriving at: 

• Shi Ping, 112, Chinese academic administrator and politician… 
• Joss Naylor, 88, English fell runner.

Shi = she; Naylor = nailer.  Note from their wiki pages: 

• Shi Ping (1 November 1911 – 29 June 2024
• Joss Naylor MBE (10 February 1936 – 28 June 2024)

The supercentenarian was born on 1/11/11 !!!!!  And Naylor was born on the same day as Coutlhard, generating a “February 10(x2)” pattern cluster.  Also standing out from Sykes wiki page given the recent “Ice Theme” pattern cluster: 

2012	Ice Age: Continental Drift	Granny	Voice
2013	The Hot Flashes	Florine Clarkston
2016	Ice Age: Collision Course	Granny	Voice

Strange, one of the screen writers is Michael Berg… berg is a word ie iceberg… and then again so is “burg”— walled fortress or town.  

From Sykes Wiki page, these caught my inner eye/I: 

Her ancestry was traced back to a 1683 court case involving her ancestor, Elizabeth Banks, a free white woman and indentured servant, who gave birth     to a biracial child, Mary Banks, fathered by a slave, who inherited her mother's free status. According to historian Ira Berlin, a specialist in the history of American slavery, the Sykes family history is "the only such case that I know of in which it is possible to trace a black family rooted in freedom from the late 17th century to the present."

In October 2008, Sykes appeared in a television ad for the Think Before You Speak Campaign, an advertising campaign by GLSENaimed at curbing homophobic slang in youth communities. In the 30-second spot, she uses humor to scold a teenager for saying "that's so gay" when he really means "that is so bad".^[25][26] In March 2009, Sykes became the host of a late-night talk show on Saturdays on Fox, The Wanda Sykes Show which was scheduled to premiere November 7, 2009.^[27][28] In April 2009, she was named in Out magazine's "Annual Power 50 List", landing at number 35

In 2021, Sykes began starring on the Netflix sitcom The Upshaws.^[37] Sykes co-hosted the94th Academy Awards with Regina Halland Amy Schumer on March 27, 2022.^[38] The telecast is most known for its infamous moment where Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. Sykes condemned the actions of Smith stating on Ellen "For [The Academy] to let him stay in that room and enjoy the rest of the show and accept his award, I was like, 'How gross is this? This is just the wrong message.' You assault somebody, you get escorted out of the building and that's it. For them to let him continue, I thought it was gross

Sykes was married to record producer Dave Hall from 1991 to 1998.^[10] In November 2008, she publicly came out as a lesbian while at a same-sex marriage rally in Las Vegas regarding Proposition 8.^[10][41] A month earlier, Sykes married her wife Alex Niedbalski, a French woman,^[42] whom she met in 2006. The couple also became parents in April 2009, when Niedbalski gave birth to a pair of fraternal twins.^[43]
