Hi Nikky

You'll find a list of synonyms in various languages at:

http://www.travlang.com/wordofday/109.html

In portuguese, as well as in spanish, italian and many
other languages derived from latin, it is 'primavera'.
In ancient times, only two seasons were distinguished,
the bad time, or time to hibernate (hibernum tempus),
and the good one, or time to spring (veranum tempus).
Eventually, people began to call the first months of 
this long season as 'the beginning of spring', or 'the
first part of spring' (primum ver or pl. prima vera).

Best regards,

Subject: [vjti_alumni] Info reqd.: Any openings in Lotus Notes in the UK
- central london, southwest...

Hey guys, and girls...was wondering if any of you are
aware of openings in Lotus notes in london and the
surrounding area.

I am planning to move to the UK from the US, to join
my wife who is there on a work permit - I won't need a
work permit as long as hers is valid.... will be
starting a job search soon, but figured that with all
the job postings on this mailing list, this might be
worth a try too. :)
