Sraat, Morin and Saran: Their meaning and origin?

Post by **zulkarneyn** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 2:00 pm

Greetings Rockbrothers and Rocksisters,

Lore+sraat, Morin+moss and Saran+grave... Do you have any idea what the underlined words mean? Tried searching the dictionaries but could find nothing related with the context.

Can't really help u, but the way u just broke apart Sarangrave conjured up images of a place where all the "shrink-wrap" goes 2 die! HAHAHA! But wouldn't: sraat possibily come from another langauge? German, Dutch perhaps?

None of these is german... or if they are, they're ancient, I never heard them.

I think it's not sraat but raat - German, Dutch for council

Hail,

amanibhavam wrote:I think it's not sraat but raat - German, Dutch for council

this is quite logical.

I have first searched this one on the net and come up with sraat=street. But then I have realized that the sraats I came up on the net were just "straat" (which is "street" in Dutch) typed incorrectly.

Many thanks amanibhavam.

But what about "sarangrave". Am I making a mistake in dividing words just as the mistake I did in "loresraat" - which should have been "lore's raat"? How should I divide it? What about Sarang+ Rave? UH I am completely lost here.

BUt I am sure about Morin+moss. Then what is Morin?

I know this is an ancient thread but I came across something very fast the other day on PBS that said Saran is a tree, or something, found in India--will have to research further...

I'm in agreeance with the idea of sraat being dutch as it immediately said 'south african' to me, and their language has a lot of dutch in it.

Morin is a family name of French origin. There was a celtic people called Moriner (sp?) living in Normandy and Flanders. That's all I come to think of right now.

i think Saringrave .. is more likely synonymous for Tree - grove ..

sounds better to me anyway

LOL

well if it was a grove it surely was a grave after the Ravers were through with it-and I'm sure Fouls vile Defile sewage brightened up the place as well!**lurk, lurk**
