Rose & Amado, OK - it's posted. Couldn't remember where this thread was, so it's in a thread of its own - here . Of course, I rediscovered this one immediately afterwards  Many years, Neil

Everyone baptized into Christ should pass progressively through all the stages of Christ's own life, for in baptism he receives the power so to progress, and through the commandments he can discover and learn how to accomplish such progression. - Saint Gregory of Sinai

No clergy, please - this question is for lay people only!
Recently I was amused to read through a fat prayer-book purporting to be in "modern English". In most of the book, the language has indeed been unbearably dumbed down.
However, I was even more amused to find the word "parturition" in a text intended for singing by the congregation.
So my question is easily stated: how many of our lay participants in this Forum (and I strongly suspect that most of our lay participants are well-educated) could tell the meaning of the word "parturition" without needing a dictionary?

Anyone with a background in medicine - including nursing - would certainly understand that word.

Fr. Serge Would that mean that the differnt sides of the Church alternate? Or men and women? I am going by 'part' meaning that differnt ones would take differnt parts. And yes, I am just guessing

Is metania plural? If so, is metany singular?
I think it has been long enough to check a dictionary on Fr. Serge's request:
par�tu�ri�tion /ˌpɑrtʊˈrɪʃən, -tyʊ-, -tʃʊ-/ [pahr-too-rish-uhn, -tyoo-, -choo-]
�noun Biology. the process of bringing forth young.
[Origin: 1640�50; < LL parturītiōn- (s. of parturītiō) travail, equiv. to L parturīt(us) (ptp. of parturīre; see parturient) + -iōn- -ion]
par�tu�ri�tion (p�r'ty-rĭsh'ən, -t-, p�r'chə-)
n. The act or process of giving birth; childbirth.
[Late Latin parturītiō, parturītiōn-, from Latin parturītus, past participle of parturīre, to be in labor; see parturient.]

Along these lines, what gripes me and maybe other "common" people is the frequent and over-use of formal Latin terms and it seems like its assumed that readers all know or are familiar with these technical terms. I don't think anyone is trying to impress anyone with their knowledge of Latin but for the benefit of the others maybe the first time a Latin term is used an English translation in paenthesis could follow.

Slava Isusu Christu!
If I can get a definitive answer here I will be a happy man. I'm in a debate with an old friend, also cradle Byzantine. The word for father is otec, as in my father. The word for "daddy" I've heard as otecko. Now, when speaking about a priest, is it Otec or Otce?
And my recollection is duze moja means "my soul." Correct?
Thanks
Tim

Tim,
I think it is "dushe moja", as in the the beginning stanza to the Festal Hirmos. "Duzhe" is the adverb "very".
Also, most Rusyns use the Hungarian "Njan'o" for dad-daddy.
