	The Wings to Awakening: Glossary
		Various English words have been suggested as renderings for sankhara - such as "formation", "determination", "force", and "construction" - but "fabrication", in both of its senses, as the process of fabrication and the fabricated things that result, seems the best equivalent for capturing the connotations as well as the denotations of the term.
		Unbinding: Because nibbana is used to denote not only the Buddhist goal, but also the extinguishing of a fire, it is usually rendered as "extinguishing" or, even worse, "extinction".
		According to the commentaries, the literal meaning of the word nibbana is "unbinding" and as this is a rare case where the literal and contextual meanings of a term coincide, this seems to be the ideal English equivalent.

	Earthsea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Earthsea is a fictional realm that was created by Ursula K. Le Guin for her short story "The Word of Unbinding", published in 1964, but became more famous in her novel A Wizard of Earthsea, first published in 1968.
		The word "tolkien" never actually appears in any Earthsea book, but the word "sukien" (composed from "suk", feather, and "-ien", meaning "feather of the sea") does, and thus it is easy to theorise the existence of the word "tolkien".
		The similarity between this word and J.R.R. Tolkien's surname is most probably pure coincidence, although it would make for an interesting way for Le Guin to pay homage to another famous fantasy writer.

	On the word 'God'
		The generations have laid the burden of their anxious lives upon this word and weighed it to the ground; it lies in the dust and bears their whole burden.
		Human beings with their religious factions have torn the word to pieces; they have killed for it and died for it, and it bears their finger marks and their blood.
		We cannot cleanse the word 'God' and we cannot make it whole; but, defiled and mutilated as it is, we can raise it from the ground and set it over an hour of great care.

		Because of this resemblance, the word "phenomenology" is useful in helping to explain the source of the Buddha's descriptions of the workings of kamma and the process of dependent co-arising in particular.
		The commentaries state that the word "monk" includes anyone — male or female, lay or ordained — who is serious about the practice, and this meaning should always be kept in mind.
		The mastery of causality that formed the heart of this insight thus formed the heart of his teaching, with the first two insights providing the background against which the teachings were to be put into practice.

	1. The Runic Mysteries
		The word was used by the early Germanic people themselves, as well as by the Romans, when referring to that script.
		We see the word for runic character in Runic Old Norse as "runar," Old Icelandic and Faroese as "run," Swedish as "runa," Danish and Norwegian as "runa" and in Middle High German and Anglo-Saxon as "run." This is the same word seen earlier as also meaning mystery.
		The word "rune" and its variants are inevitably tied into the Germanic traditions of occultism and witchcraft.

		The first word translated 'loosed' in First Corinthians 7:27 is the Greek 'lusin,' meaning 'a release from the marriage bond, a divorce.' The second word translated 'loosed' in verse 27 is the Greek 'lelusai,' and it is the subject of controversy.
		A word may appear as a noun, an adjective, a verb, an adverb, etc. and yet still be the same word (with regard to root and basic meaning), but nevertheless look different.
		The difference in the two words is merely the difference in saying "immersion" and "immersing." One describes the act itself, the other the action of performing the act.

	biology - Gene
		The word "gene" is shared by many disciplines, including classical genetics, molecular genetics, evolutionary biology and population genetics.
		Following the discovery that DNA is the genetic material, and with the growth of biotechnology and the project to sequence the human genome, the common usage of the word "gene" has increasingly reflected its meaning in molecular biology.
		The influence of such variations on the trajectory of evolution through natural selection may be as large as or larger than variation in sequences that encode proteins.

	The Topmost Apple: "Unbinding the Gay Conscience"
		He would pronounce those words ‘God has shown me that I should not call any human profane or impure’2, and gay people would find themselves with unbound conscience as brothers and sisters in the Church on the same footing as everyone else-as sons and daughters and heirs.
		In other words, two instructions are received as on the same level as each other, pointing in two different directions at once, and the result is paralysis.

	Maxey Eleven
		The word that Paul uses is the Greek luo which Vine defines as 'to loose, unbind, release.' In order for a man to be loosed, unbound, or released from a wife, he must necessarily have been bound to one previously and then loosed by divorce or her death.
		It was a common word, and Paul undoubtedly knew of it.
		Both essentially acknowledge that the word signifies a loosing and untieing and unbinding from that which had previously been bound or united, and even that the passage alludes to a union of husband and wife, however they seek to free themselves from the more obvious interpretation (divorce) by declaring this phrase "figurative" rather than literal.

	Chapter 11: Buffalo Gals
		Against the word as sword, dividing and (thereby?) killing, Le Guin places the literal image of a dancing woman-the printer's mark ending each section of Buffalo Gals-and the word-image of the word as shuttle, weaving the world.
		As the last work and word in Buffalo Gals, however, "She Unnames Them" is mâshâl in the stronger sense of an (anti)Prophecy: the word doing work in the world, here, undoing the work of words.
		My words now must be as slow, as new, as single, as tentative as the steps I took going down the path away from the house, between the dark-branched, tall dancers motionless against the winter shining.

		The two primary knowledges that constituted the Awakening -- knowledge of the regularity of the Dhamma and knowledge of Unbinding -- played a major role in shaping what the Buddha taught and how he taught it.
		The second insight -- into the death and rebirth of beings throughout the cosmos -- provided part of the answer to the questions surrounding the issue of causality in the pursuit of happiness.
		The Buddha had an additional difficulty, however, in that his definition of health -- Unbinding -- was something that none of his listeners had yet experienced for themselves.

	TOLKIEN: Archetype and Word
		For Milton, subjective experience, not a doctrinal formula of words, is the key to faith, and Mediaeval "realism," which assumes the participation of words in the extramental reality they signify, is not part of the consciousness which produced Paradise Lost.
		The Word, in a Christian sense, is a primary archetype which for Tolkien both spiritualizes and revalidates for man the extramental world of history and material extension.
		So Frodo insists on unbinding Gollum and trusting his promise, and the shadow, ever ambivalent, becomes a guide, though without ceasing to be dangerous.

		Although the rule of one English equivalent per one Pali word makes for consistency, any truly bilingual person will know that such a rule can create ludicrous distortions of meaning in translation.
