Quote:Valerius, you don't want a Latin word for this "karma" thing. Because it's not a very Roman phenomenon, but a very very Greek one (dang democrat hippies, the lot of 'em!). I know I'm not the first Roman to ask myself why we whupped all those phalanxes' butts back then in the roaring 600s (rather nice butts most of them now that I think about it ... agh, it's the Greek influence again - run for the Capitol Hills!). :roll:Is that what the Norse called Hamingja?
The word isn't some word taken from the farthest provinces of Alexander's journeys where the world ends. The word is one from his homelands.
And it is Οστρακοι - simple as that.
