Possibly. I remember Dewrad writing on his blog either in Gaulish or Proto-Gallo-Brythonic.
La tume sie „dēwoi“ a „marwont“ due gaulo, ko tiviéme kuano-kéleto. [ˈla tuˈme ʃe _ a _ˈdu̯e ˈgau̯lo | ko tʃiˈβi̯eme ˈku̯ano ˈkeleto]
I think "dēwoi" and "marwont" are Gaulish, but possibly Proto-Celtic.

Anyway, today was pretty warm around here, a taste of spring at last.

In all honesty, I can't remember why: it doesn't refer to an actual real person. I think it might be because it almost rhymes with the English "ponce", but I'm not sure. I like it, though, as it adds verisimilitude. After all, why is the French word for "pimp" the same as their word for "mackerel"?
De fato e una coincidentia. 'Maquereau' o senso de cavala a un'etymologie controversate, forsi de la franceisa medievale maquer, macare, qontra o senso de 'proseneta', feni dela neerlandeise 'makelaar', 'merqant' como 'maquignon' - fendoure de qavadi.
Actually, it's a coincidence. 'Maquereau' in the sense of 'mackerel' has a controversial etymology, maybe from Old French 'maquer', to stain, whereas in the sense of 'pimp', it comes from the Dutch 'makelaar', trader — just like 'maquignon', 'horse seller'.

"In the liver we trust."
From yonder, in the land of TWC.
Ang naraya edauyi Yesus keynamas-aril si ang paronyan sitang-paronāneri muya, sitang-tang kaytomay nivayēa na Pangal, kadāre ang mayayan sulanas-nama keynamyam palung. Ang ningya eda-telbyamanas cam: "Yam sarayan ayonang sam manga ling natrang, no natratang. Menanang ayonyena sa Paris, ayonyena palung viretāyās. Ang bengya Paris sitang-paronāneri nay natryāng, 'Ang kutāy vās, Pangal, yang voy ku-keynamas palung – yang voy pegamayās, voy tesisamayās, voy tormuyamayās, yang voy ku-ada-viretāyās naynay. Ang irāy bahisya sam bihanena nay na ilisayang lihān-hen nā memal.' Ang diva bengya viretāya timangya kāryo nay ang tendoyya-nyama ringyam nivajas yana. Ang haruya hevenya yana nay narayāng, 'Pangal, tatamu atrasas nā yām si ayonas hora!' Ang ningay vayam – viretāyāng māy kaytisu nivayēa na Pangal, nārya ang Paris voy. Yanoyam səkivisaya enyās si ang ringya sitang-yās, nārya səringya enyās si ang kivisya sitang-yās."

Now Jesus said to some people who believed out of wrong self-confidence that they are righteous in the eyes of God, so that they only felt contempt towards other people. He told them this example: "Two men went up to the temple, they wanted to pray. The first man was a Pharisee, the other man was a tax-collector. The Pharisee stood with self-confidence and prayed, 'Thank you, God, that I am not like other people – I am not a thief, not a fraud, not an adulterer, I am also not like that tax-collector. I fast on two days of the week and I donate a tenth of all my income.' The tax-collector stayed standing at a large distance and he did not even dare to raise his eyes. He beat on his chest and said, 'God, forgive me, who is a sinful man, my guilt.' I tell you: The tax collector was indeed justified in the eyes of God, but not so the Pharisee. Because everyone will be diminished who exalts himself, but everyone will be exalted who diminishes himself."
That is, I got the impression that Chagen was being holier-than-thou again by pretending not to understand the """naughty""" words Lyra carelessly uttered. This post is supposed to be a reminder against being self-righteous. Also it served as a translation challenge to myself.

It is cloudy and rainy here, too. The weather has been November-like since, well, November. Fortunately, there are only three days of rain and clouds left.
