41 concierge
concierge [kɔ̃sjεʀʒ]masculine noun, feminine noun━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Some apartment buildings in French cities still have a « loge » near the entrance where the concierge lives with his or her family. The stereotypical image of the concierge is that of an amiable busybody with a tendency to spread gossip about tenants. Nowadays the term is considered slightly demeaning, and « gardien/gardienne d'immeuble » are often preferred.* * *kɔ̃sjɛʀʒnom masculin et féminin caretaker GB, superintendant USc'est une vraie concierge — fig ( bavard) she's a real gossip
* * *kɔ̃sjɛʀʒ nmf[immeuble] caretaker, [hôtel] head porter* * *concierge ⇒ Les métiers et les professions nmf caretaker GB, superintendant US; ( dans un immeuble) concierge; c'est une vraie concierge fig ( bavard) he's/she's a real gossip; ( curieux) he's/she's a nosy parker○.[kɔ̃sjɛrʒ] nom masculin et fémininIn French apartment buildings, the concierge does general cleaning jobs, sees to it that no unwelcome visitors enter the building, and often also delivers mail to the occupants of the building. The concierge usually lives in a small flat ( la loge) just inside the front entrance. The politically correct term for concierge is gardien/gardienne. -

54 Revolution of Carnations
Refers to the Revolution of 25 April 1974. Carnations of many colors, but principally red because of the symbolism of red for leftist (including socialist and communist) views and action, were common in Lisbon flower shops during the rainy day of 25 April 1974, when the Armed Forces Movement (MFA) overthrew the Estado Novo. The carnation appeared to embody the peaceful, bloodless, almost romantic nature of the military coup, which met little or no resistance from the Estado Novo's last defenders. The only blood shed on 25 April was spilled when the Lisbon headquarters of the political police (DGS) fired into a surging crowd of procoup enthusiasts who rushed the front of the building; five persons died and several people were injured.When people began to give the MFA troops carnations to stick in their rifles, guns, and uniforms and on their helmets and caps, the idea of using the carnations as a symbol of the peaceful intentions of the MFA spread. Soon various parties and even the government adopted the symbol of red carnations, and this icon of change began to appear in graffiti on walls.Historical dictionary of Portugal > Revolution of Carnations

55 λοβός
Grammatical information: m.Meaning: `lobe, lap, slip' as appellation of several lap- or sliplike parts of body or plant, esp. `lobe of the ear' (Ξ 182), also `lobe of liver' (Hp., A., E., Pl.), `of the lung' (medic.) etc.; `lap, Blättchen des Fliederblattes' (Thphr.), `capsula with seeds, (hanging down) pods of siliquosae- and leguminous plants' ans these themselves, `pod, seed-lobe, fruit-lobe in gen.' (Thphr., Dsc., Gal.). Details in Strömberg Eranos 40, 90ff.; he wants to explain the meaning `pod, case' through popular association with λοπός `shell, bark, scale', which is superfluous with the development of meanings scetched above. Demin. λόβιον (Gal., Dsc.).Compounds: Often as 2. member, e.g. πρό-λοβος m. `crop of birds, Adam's apple' (Arist., LXX), but προ-λόβιον `the front part of the lobe of the ear' (Poll., H.); ἔλ-λοβος `in a pod, with pod' (Thphr.; lengthened ἐλλοβ-ώδης `id.'; cf. Strömberg Theophrastea 164), but ἐλ-λόβιον `ear-ring' (Luc., S.E.); ἀντι-λόβιον, - βίς `part of the ear-lobe opposite to the προλόβιον' (medic.); ἐπιλοβίς μέρος τοῦ ἥπατος H.; as adj. in ἡ ἐπιλοβὶς γλῶσσα `lobe of the liver' (of soothsayers, PAmh. 2, 14, 21; III--IVp); as building term καταλοβεύς m. `uppercornice, cross-beam' (Epid., Hierapytna); ὀξυλοβ-έω ' τὸ ταχέως ἀκούω' (Suid.), from *ὀξύ-λοβος, s. Strömberg l.c.Derivatives: Dimin. λόβιον (Gal, Dsc.).Origin: XX [etym. unknown]Etymology: Etymology unknown. Semantically attractive is the connection with NHG Lappen a. cognates., e.g. OE læppa m. `tip, lap', ēar-læppa `ear-lobe', also without expressive gemination as WNo. lapa `hang slack', MLG ōr-lepel `ear-lobe'. Further with deviating ă-vowel Lat. lăbāre `totter, give way' beside long vowel in lābor, lābī `glide'; with initial sl- e.g. MLG slap 'sleck', Lith. slãbnas, OCS slabъ `slack'; extensively on these WP. 2, 431 f., W.- Hofmann s. labō; also Pok. 655 f.; Fraenkel Wb. s. slãbnas, Vasmer Wb. s. slábyj. The IE b may, like the varying vocalisation, be connected with the popular-expressive character of these words. - Connection with Lat. legūmen `leguminous plant etc.' (Fick, Prellwitz) would presuppose IE * legʷ-, which would be more attractive; the Lat. word, however, has also been interpreted differently, s. W.-Hofmann s. v. - Beside λοβός there seems to have been a form *λέβος, s. 1. λεβηρίς (?). If this is correct - but it is rather unreliable - the word may be Pre-Greek; the cited IE forms rather point to a European substratum word.Page in Frisk: 2,131-132Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > λοβός
