Censorship And Censureship: Insiders, Outsiders, And The Attack On Bhandarkar Institute, Adheesh Sathaye
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
On January 5, 2004, the Bhandarkar Institute, a large Sanskrit manuscript library in Pune, was vandalized because of its involvement in James Laine's controversial study of the Maharashtrian king Shivaji. While most of the manuscripts escaped damage, less fortunate was the academic project of South Asian studies, which now faces some serious questions. if our intellectual pursuits should result in the destruction of the very materials we study, or injury to those who help us to study them, are they worth conducting at all? Or might they be conducted in such a way as to avoid violent reaction? As groundwork …

Singing Of Satnam: Blind Simon Patros, "Dalit" Religious Identity, And "Satnami"-Christian Music In Chhattisgarh, India, Chad M. Bauman
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
Christianity in every context -- whether western or nonwestern, contemporary or ancient -- emerges as a composite entity, combining elements of the religions and cultures that predate it with aspects of the Christian faith, in whatever form it arrives. There is, of course, nothing distinctly Christian about this process, for just as the expansion of Christianity into India involved the Indianization of Christianity, so too did the growth of Hinduism in Bali entail the Balinization of Hinduism. Other religions follow a similar pattern when they cross cultural boundaries.

Embodying "Bhakti Rasa" In Bharata Natyam: An Indian-Christian Interpretation Of "Gayatri" Mantra Through Dance, Katherine C. Zubko
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
As the five female dancers from the Indian-Christian fine art college of Kalai Kaviri encircle the South Indian brass lamp, or vilakku, awakening it to life with the flames from their own individual votives, the beginning melody of a song cues the women to stretch out their arms in preparation to rise from their seated positions and dance. As they raise their arms in unison, the light glinting off their bangles and gold threaded costumes, the Sanskrit words Om Bhur Bhuvah Svah signal the invocatory phrase of the popular Gayatri mantra chanted daily by many Hindus all over the …
Palindromic Word Squares, Rex Gooch
Palindromic Word Squares, Rex Gooch
Word Ways
A word square (n-square) consists of a n rows, each containing a different n-letter word, so that the first column has the same word as the first raw, and so on. A palindromic square is a word square in which the words are palindromes, with as many as possible being different. The investigation reported below was inspired by Zoran Radisavlijevic's article (W05-178).

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Dmitri Borgmann's death. To commemorate it we present three pieces: a final article by Dmitri from the editorial files, the description of a final chapter of Language on Vacation which Scribner's decided to eliminate from the book, and an imaginary visit by Dmitri to the UN in 1967 penned by the talented Australian logologist John Holgate.

The Borgmann Apocrypha, A. Ross Eckler
Word Ways
Dmitri Borgmann's Language on Vacation, published by Scribner's in 1965, is widely recognized as the Bible of logology; it is the first nonpuzzle book entirely devoted to letter-play. Long out of print, it has been eagerly sought by logologists in second-hand bookstores where, fortunately, it can often be purchased at prices of five to ten dollars.

One of the uses to which almost all of us frequently put the English language is the writing of letters-personal, business, or poison-pen. All sorts of books have, therefore, been published, advising us how to write letters courteously and effectively. Such books invariably include model our condolences. Each potential uses of these exemplars must, of course, modify them to suit his or her particular circumstances, needs and preferences.
Word Sudoku
Word Ways
Sudoku, a fairly new type of puzzle from Japan, has very recently become popular wordwide. It involves placing the digits 1-9 into a 9x9 grid which is divided into nine 3x3 squares such as those below. Enough numbers are placed in the grid as clues to enable the puzzler to solve it. The object is to make all nine rows, all nine columns and all nine 3x3 squares each contain all nine digits. This means that no row, column or 3x3 square can have more than one of each digit.

It was a chilly afternoon on December the seventh, 1967, the 26th anniversary of Pearl Harbour. Dmitri Borgmann was sitting in the reading room of the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue. He had come down from Oak Park, Illinois for a few days to do research on synonyms for baldness after noticing that his hairline was receding.

A True Pyramid
Word Ways
The term "pyramid" is used in two ways in logology: 1) a "word pyramid" is a word ladder in which each step adds a letter -eg, I IN FIN FIND FIEND FRIEND; 2) a "pyramid word" has an abstract 'pyramid' of letter frequencies -eg, REMEMBERER with 1B, 2Ms, 3Rs, 4Es. Both of these misuse the word pyramid to mean triangle. A pyramid is three dimensional -- a polygonal base with triangular sides that meet at a point. The base can have three or any higher number of sides but it's usually thought of as a square because the Egyptian pyramids.

Firstly, a reminder that an AEIOU word is one in which the 5 major vowels occur just once, in any order. The AEIOU words of current concern, however, are limited to those in which the vowels occur in alphabetical circular order or reverse alphabetical circular order. Most of the examples below are solid words; a few hyphenated designations are included but phrases are not admitted. The listings in 'Looping the Vowels' and 'Grouping the Vowels' read across the page. Unreferenced words can be found in the Oxford English Dictionary, Second Edition, unless specified otherwise.

Over the years I have seen many different variants of my first name, Jeffrey. This is an attempt to catalogue some of them. 400 examples were found on the Internet using the Google search program. The subset below contains 124 apparently genuine variants, all of which are probably pronounced more or less the same as Jeffrey. The ones with a plus are recorded on the Kabalarians online name database (www.kabalarians, "How important is your name?"), and those with an asterisk are old forms.
Kickshaws, Dave Morice
Letter Sums And Differences, Eric Iverson
Letter Sums And Differences, Eric Iverson
Word Ways
In the November 2004 Kickshaws, Dave Morice pointed out that the first two letters of HOW add to the third (8+15=23), and that the first two letters of to the third (23-25=8). This idea can be extended to longer words; any two consecutive letters in a word must add (or subtract) to the next letter, such as CADE, 3+1=4 followed by 1+4=5. To allow for sums greater than 26, use the circular alphabet: A=1, B=2, ... Z=26, A=27, etc. The same stratagem is used to create positive differences, such as SARI, 19-1=18 followed by 27-18=9.

Old Saws Repaired, Christopher Mcmanus
Old Saws Repaired, Christopher Mcmanus
Word Ways
The roots of mangled proverbs as wordplay are historically distant. In Cervantes' classic Don Quixote, one humorous hallmark of Sancho Panchez was his abuse of proverbs; Sancho piled proverb on proverb, using garbled and inflated language, often citing them where inapplicable. The long-running radio show Easy Aces brought the form to modern mass entertainment as early as 1931. "You've got the cards before the horse," "the laugh's on the other foot," and "familiarity breeds attempt" were a few of comedienne Jane Ace's insights on the show.

A magic square, well-known to recreational mathematicians, consists of a set of numbers (integers) arranged in a square, such that the sum of each row and column and both of the principal diagonals is the same. Although magic squares date back thousands of years and have an extensive literature (see for example Magic Squares and Cubes by W.S. Andrews, published by Dover in 1960), the following logological problem involving magic squares appears to be new: construct a magic square in which the number-names in each row, column and diagonal share a letter (a different one in each case). Since there …
