Nibbāna : (see vāyati) refers only to the (non— ) emittance of an odour, which could never be used for a meaning of “being exhausted”; moreover, one has to bear in mind that native commentators themselves never thought of explaining nibbāna by anything like blowing (vāta), but always by nis+vana (see nibbana). For Bdhgh’s defn of nibbāna see e. g. Vism 293. — The meanings of n. are: 1. the going out of a lamp or fire (popular meaning). — 2. health, the sense of bodily well— being (probably, at first, the passing away of feverishness, restlessness).

It’s really never to anyone’s benefit to behave as if words have a fixed meaning either over time or at specific moments of usage.

It’s not the sweetness of the treat. It’s the rancidness of the curd.

Malachy was an Irish monk, who, on a visit to Rome was said to have had a vision of all the future popes. He catalogued each one with a descriptive Latin phrase and reportedly entrusted it to Pope Innocent II in 1140. There was little, if any, mention of the prophecies for the next 400 years. In 1590, a Benedictine monk “discovered” them and published them five years later. The reason that Malachy’s prophecies have re-flourished is that proponents claim Malachy indicated that the current Pontiff, Benedict XVI is the “next to last pope”. Adherents say the next pope will be known as Peter the Roman and his reign will end in massive tribulation.
Dreams involving exhaustion, last stands, imminent betrayals, and fatal losses of discipline right before critical moments. Also a second dream on the sidelines of that first dream (I was in both but also watching myself in each from another dream level) — a very weird thing to do with nested vials of oil, and having to fish a small vial of fish oil out of a vial of tea tree oil inside a vial of vegetable oil.
