Goin' to a Kirkin'

[ThistleDown]

from Merriam Webster, "Middle English (northern dialect), from Old Norse kirkja, from Old English cirice — more at church]". Under church, we find, "Middle English chirche, from Old English cirice, ultimately from Late Greek kyriakon, from Greek, neuter of kyriakos of the lord, from kyrios lord, master; akin to Sanskrit śūra hero, warrior".

OK, I sort of follow, except from the jump from sura to kyrios

Hmmm, yes, I don't quite follow that jump, either. I have some relevant thoughts on the evolution of Old English to Middle English as a language, the development of the Northumbrian dialect and the Scots language, with the latter sending tendrels back to Scandinavia -- but that would be an even further tangent for this thread.

I, too, would like to know more about the cape, WolfmanJack, and the process of chosing it as an accessory?
