Journal NaveWeiss's Journal: I am not the center of the church! 6

Journal by NaveWeiss on Wednesday February 04, 2004 @11:04AM

Oi va'avoi!
You know what I've just found out? That nave is a real word in English! So I wanted to tell you all that I'm not the center of the church, nor the center of the wheel.
My "Nave" is pronounced differently too. It's not "neyve" like you may think, but it's "na-ve". The E at the end is not silent.

Now, that has been a useless journal entry, hasn't it?

..."navvy," a somewhat antiquated slang term for a sailor. I suppose that doesn't make you feel any better, now does it? ;-)

  Why, it does make me feel better. I'd rather be a sailor in an old pirate ship. :)

    Does "Nave" have any meaning in Hebrew? Is it a common name? Just curious. I have been internally pronouncing it "Nav", I will now correct myself...

      It is a common surname, but it's seldom used as a first name. Now about the meanings. It's funny but I wasn't even aware of them:
      
      [adj.] (literary) beautiful, pleasant
      [noun] house, hostel, home ; (flowery) abode
