Eventually David has an accent ถิ่น อี. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sorry, bad joke again... should stop now.

But found out that I must have a Lao accent. Due to the discussion here I asked myself what means CANCER in Laotian language?

ມະເຮັງ mā héŋ 1 cancer

ma-heng :?: Since when a l can become a h in Laotian language? ma-reng? ma-laeng? มะเร็ง :oops: :oops:

You'll not believe this but until only 5 minutes ago I was convinced that the term for cancer, Thai, siamese, is โรคแมลง, heard thousand times in hospitals (Isan) but for which I had never a look in a dic

Actually, while crustaceans are arthropods, horseshoe crabs are in a different class from crustaceans. The class for horseshoe crabs is "Merostomata". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangrove_horseshoe_crab .


Is it possible, that we clarify, at the "natural end of the discussion", the question: The name of the animal in Thai, which spcecies?

David, sorry in advance, but you set the wrong link:

Merostoma see See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangrove_horseshoe_crab

You did not mean Mangrove Merostoma but Merostoma? This would link to:
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merostomata

Xiphosura (no Thai entry):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiphosura

"Xiphosura is an order of marine chelicerates which includes a large number of extinct lineages and only four recent species in the family Limulidae, which include the horseshoe crabs."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limulidae = "Living" horse shoe crabs

Thai: แมงดาทะเล

"แมงดาทะเล หรือ แมงดา (อังกฤษ: Horseshoe crab)"

สกุล Carcinoscorpius
แมงดาถ้วย (Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda) พบในอินเดีย จนถึงเอเชียตะวันออกเฉียงใต้และเอเชียตะวันออก
สกุล Limulus
แมงดาแอตแลนติก (Limulus polyphemus) พบตามชายฝั่งทางตะวันตกเหนือและในอ่าวเม็กซิโก
สกุล Tachypleus
แมงดาจาน (Tachypleus gigas) พบในเอเชียใต้และเอเชียตะวันออกเฉียงใต้
แมงดาญี่ปุ่น หรือ แมงดาจีน (Tachypleus tridentatus) พบตามชายฝั่งเอเชียตะวันออก

แมงดา อีกความหมายหนึ่งคือ ผู้ชายที่คอยคุมโสเภณี หรือ "pimp" ครับ :lol:

Wow - that helps really. Last translation aid needed.

During our next stay in Switzerland we will, thus, order

Chillisauce al gigolo

or

Chillisauce nach Zuhälterart

Hope we will receive on our order น้ำพริกแมงดา ;)

Here is a good game, can anyone come up with a Title which is both compatible with the comic book style picture and a ponce? Bug man doesn't quite do it for me but I can't do better.
I wonder, is a แมงดา a heroic figure in Thai. :lol:
