What's the "madula-ablangada" (I think)?

Medulla oblongata. [L., oblong medulla] (Anat.), the posterior part of the brain connected with the spinal cord. It includes all the hindbrain except the cerebellum and pons, and from it a large part of the cranial nerves arise. It controls very largely respiration, circulation, swallowing, and other functions, and is the most vital part of the brain; -- called also bulb of the spinal cord. See Brain.

Her name was Lilith.  I believe, but might be wrong, that it is a hebrew origin.  She was suppose to be Adams first wife, make from the earth.  She wouldn't submit or be subserviant to Adam so god cast her out of the garden of eden.  He then made eve from adams rib.  Alot of things have been said about her like she became a demon, a vampire, evil, etc.  Just go to any major search engine and look her up, the variety of legands are great reading!

Well, there is a word in Arabic that is Abbada but I can't find the definition.  I found Abada in a few dictionaries and it means, 1. rhinosceros 2. an innocent forest spirit in Tatar mythology. It looks like an old woman.  \nIs he mispronouncing something? eg. Above? A bird?

"Illegitimis non carborundum"\n\n(Phrase Origins)\n\n\n\n   Yes, this means "Don't let the bastards grind you down", but it\nis not real Latin; it is a pseudo-Latin joke.\n\n   "Carborundum" is a trademark for a very hard substance composed\nof silicon carbide, used in grinding.  (The name "Carborundum" is a\nblend of "carbon" and "corundum".  "Corundum" denotes aluminium\noxide, and comes to English from Tamil _kuruntam_; it is related to\nSanskrit _kuruvinda_ = "ruby".)  "The "-ndum" ending suggests the\nLatin gerundive, which is used to express desirability of the\nactivity denoted by the verb, as in _Nil desperandum_ = "nothing to\nbe despaired of"; _addendum_ = "(thing) fit to be added";\n_corrigendum_ = "(thing) fit to be corrected"; and the name Amanda,\nfrom _amanda_ = "fit to be loved").\n\n   _Illegitimis_ is the dative plural of _illegitimus_ =\n"illegitimate"; the gerundive in Latin correctly takes the dative to\ndenote the agent.  _Illegitimus_ could conceivably mean "bastard" in\nLatin, but was not the usual word for it:  _Follett World-Wide Latin\nDictionary_ (Follett, 1967) gives _nothus homo_ for bastard of known\nfather, and _spurius_ for bastard of unknown father.\n\n   The phrase seems to have originated with British army\nintelligence early in World War II.  It was popularized when U.S.\ngeneral Joseph W. "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell (1883-1946) adopted it as\nhis motto.  Various variant forms are in circulation.\n\n\nSource: [Mark Israel, 'Phrase Origins: "Illegitimis non carborundum"', The alt.usage.english FAQ file,(line 4970), (29 Sept 1997)]

I am pretty sure it's "Moose lem" or "Muzz lem". "Moz lem" is for the Germanic tribe that invaded Europe. My teacher's said that it can be Mooselem or Muzzlem.

In my opinion I think it is a bunch of raz-a-pataz. If you magic the pataz you get razed in the NB with Ridaz and then you go into a spaz. Hope I helped and good luck.

Dreidel\n \nThe dreidel (a four-sided spinning top) is associated with Hanukkah. It has four sides, each engraved with a different Hebrew letter:\n\nנ (Nun) \nג (Gimel) \nה (Hey) \nש (Shin) \nThese letters are an acronym for the Hebrew words, נס גדול היה שם, Nes Gadol Haya Sham—"A great miracle happened there" (referring to the miracle of the oil that took place in the Beit Hamikdash).\n\nIn Israel, the fourth side instead shows the letter פ (Pe), rendering the acronym, נס גדול היה פה, Nes Gadol Haya Po—"A great miracle happened here" (referring to the fact that the miracle occurred in the land of Israel).\n\nTraditional Jewish commentaries ascribe deep symbolism to the markings on the dreidel. One commentary, for example, connects the four letters with the four exiles to which the nation of Israel was historically subject—Babylonia, Persia, Greece, and Rome.[13]\n\nThe dreidel is the centerpiece of a game which is often played after the lighting of the Hanukkah menorah, to keep the children interested during the short time the candles are burning. Each player starts out with 10 or 15 coins, nuts or other markers, and places one marker into the "pot". The first player spins the dreidel, which lands with one of its symbols facing up, indicating the appropriate action to be taken, corresponding to one of the following Yiddish words:\n\nNun - nisht - "not" - the next player spins \nGimel - gants - "all" - the player takes the entire pot \nHey - halb - "half" - the player takes half of the pot, rounding up if there is an odd number \nShin - shtel ayn - "put in" - the player puts one or two markers in the pot \nAnother version differs in that nun is nem - "take", while gimel is gib - "give". The game may last until one person has won everything.\n\nThe dreidel game is played in part to commemorate a game that the Jews under Greek domination played to camouflage their Torah study. Though the Greeks made a law forbidding the study of Torah, the Jews would gather in caves to engage in learning. A lookout was posted to alert the group to the presence of Greek soldiers; if he spotted them, he would give a signal and the Jews would hide their scrolls and begin playing with spinning tops (dreidels) and coins. This ruse gave the impression that they were engaged in gambling, not learning.

It's in the book of Daniel. The words were written on a wall by a hand that appeared. Daniel was brought in to interpret the words. It is something about your time being up. The king that saw the words written died that night. I don't recall any more off the top of my head. Daniel is a really interesting book. I would highly recommend reading it.
