The ra is either a phonetic complement to the ideograph or is perhaps added to suggest to the reader the identification with Gir-ra. Namely, the connection with Hebrew deber, 'pestilence. Cf. Harper, ib. p. 426. Babylon. Text obscure. "Sharpen badly" seems to be the idiomatic phrase used. See above, p. 154. See p. 475. A solar deity. See p. 99. Ishum. See above, p. 501. I.e., seven.
He began in a conversational tone what was apparently an introductory address to a gathering of primitive Christians. It was in Greek, which I was able to transcribe. The translation undoubtedly is faulty, robbed of the thought and beauty of his smooth diction, and gives but imperfect meaning and interpretation to many idiomatic expressions.
"The clear insight of one prophet is better than the average judgment of forty-seven scribes." The German language was then struggling into existence, and scholars considered it beneath their notice. It was fixed for all time by Luther's Bible. Luther often spent a week on a single verse to find and fix the idiomatic German. "It is easy to plow when the field is cleared," he said.
So our title above our chapel just runs in the native idiomatic style, and it is the "Gospel Hall. Inside there is not very much to see.

In illustration of all this, I give the following expressions noted down from Gipsy conversation: Tacho like my dad.
Its subtle conception of the nicest variations of feeling, is no less remarkable than its precision in the use of language, the work, for the most part, not only reading like the production of a native, but of one familiar with the most intimate resources of idiomatic English.
Naturalness of thought, the most easy, idiomatic Castilian terms of expression, a good-humored gayety, a strong sense of the ridiculous, and a happy imitation of the tone and manners of common life, are the prominent characteristics of these plays, and their author was justly reckoned by Cervantes and Lope de Vega as the true founder of the popular national theatre.
Was ever fate less perverse ? Partly in wretched French to the officer and partly in idiomatic English to the dragoman, he proclaimed his fiery desire to accompany the expedition. The officer immediately beamed upon him. In fact, he was delighted.
According to Knox, Mary laughed a horse laugh when he entered, saying, "Yon man gart me greit, and grat never tear himself. I will see gif I can gar him greit." Her Scots, textually reported, was certainly idiomatic. Knox acknowledged his letter to the Congregation, and Lethington suggested that he might apologise.
