I don't deny that I could be wrong; in this instance, as it were in the past, I maybe wrong. The beauty of it all is that we become more curious and that's not a bad thing at all, is it? I really don't understand why you have to jibe me with that thing about my name. Must be the triumphant air about you now that you have beaten someone with a "private blog". :) Hi Shaa,

I too rely on published works in addition to other sources of information. I don’t deny that I could be wrong; in this instance, as it were in the past, I maybe wrong. The beauty of it all is that we become more curious and that’s not a bad thing at all, is it?

I really don’t understand why you have to jibe me with that thing about my name. Must be the triumphant air about you now that you have beaten someone with a “private blog”.

Now don’t take me wrong, my point here is not to say that your definition is wrong but to show you this. You know something? We know so little about this world. There could be even more meanings to this same word…. and who knows, the meaning of Simon in some language could even be what Maldivians call Roanu Edhuru. Cheers!! “Elements of a medieval garden were: alley or tunnel of fruit trees, vines or roses trained on wooden frames; estrade (living topiary); flower mead (an idealized meadow of flowers); a fountain placed in the center of a small enclosed garden; gloriette (pavilion) placed at the center of the garden to mark the intersection of paths or avenues; raised beds; trellis work of fences or arboreal trees for roses to grow on; turf bench; viridarium (a plantation of trees)”

Exactly which "English" dictionaries are you talking about? Hi,
I have not seen any definition of the word that implied it is an alternative to meadow. Exactly which “English” dictionaries are you talking about?
