Probably time waste. I work already on the book Barbaria.

We might have a few revisions to add. I still have a few more I think we can insert, personally. Plus there will be all kinds of additions from members. Better to have a living document. Maybe a Google doc? We can insert links and images and keep it updated

I think that's the plan, to keep this thread open for additional contributions, but there will also be a closed version into which staff can insert those new contributions (without any intervening chatter) - @Barbaria1 - is that still the plan?
@Madiosi will surely wait until the enthusiasm has died down before making any pdfs or ebooks?

Also, attention should be paid to avoid double entries (or different worded entries of the same topic), and integrating them as one item.

The staff, and also me?
Barb said she would be combining some entries together. I couldn’t help but write my own definitions for some of them.
Yes, there's quite a lot of editing to be done even in putting up the 'closed' version, and more before @Madiosi should start on making books or pdfs.
That's not possible without crashing the site
But if you'd care to collect together all that has been offered - even just for one letter of the alphabet at a time, and send it along to Barb via PM, that would be a good deed!
Yes, that’s the plan.
Don’t worry, I’ll editorially merge things where necessary.

Terra Nova Tramp
I am not sure if this needs to be added to the Lexicon but me being the Terra Nova tramp came about by input of a few moderators back a few years ago
Terra Nova means new land and tramp meaning is Perhaps because female tramps were often regarded as prostitutes, in the United States the term "tramp" came to refer to a promiscuous woman. So this explains how I became the tramp on CF forums.

Just for the record, not that anyone will use them, the plurals are carnifices and lictores.
The lictores weren't soldiers in the army, they were more like sheriffs' officers, they accompanied the magistrates and executed their orders, which could include beatings etc., though they were only involved in capital executions in the earliest times of Rome; they also acted as a kind of city police, keeping an eye on how people were behaving in the streets, markets etc. As their mark of office, they carried the fasces, the bundle of rods tied around a two-headed axe, that Mussolini's Fascisti took for their symbol.
But the soldier who had the job of scourging, wielding the flagellum, was the flagellator, plural flagellatores.

Nailvember - An annual/semi-annual celebration of our shared Crux interest put forth by IgnikaMarcus, where he takes the crucifixion ideas of the community and puts them into visual form.
Has inspired other such events like Crumera's Cruxtober.

Yes, there's work going on behind the scenes now, it's quite a big job getting it into final shape - so I'll lock this thread for now, when the 'official' version is ready, it will be made public, and we can re-start the discussion, with contributions for a 'second edition'

I have been there, and it is
A few suggestions : just before I signed in, some 10 years ago, there had been commotion about the death of a member Inge Tarant, who still figures in the list of admins. Another 'founding member'? A reference of her too?
Tree regularly uses the abbreviation IMF for Imperial Moral Force : also add it to the lexicon?
Under 'C', the Crux Chronicle is referred to. It contains a reference to 'Spike Sharp', but as far as I can see, that entry does not exist under 'S'.
Under P : 'Petra of Nazareth, there is a reference to 'Steve', which also seems to be missing under 'S'.
I shall think of more suggestions meanwhile!
Thanks Lox, very helpful. Inge was indeed an active moderator when I was first here in 2011, we learnt of her tragic death in an accident when her cycle was hit by a vehicle in October 2013. She was a founder member of the Forums, I only remember her as a supportive colleague, and one who took no nonsense from quarrelsome types. But maybe one of our pioneer members could provide a short note on her contribution?I have been there, and it is
