"Because it's second letter is also not 'L'," Varius tried... after raising his hand of course!

Quote:

Cela raised her hand, still staring at the Auroch. "Uruz means Auroch. Uruz is the symbol of strength, determination and endurance. Like being as stubborn as a bull and all that."

"Yes, just like Fehu meant cattle." She said nodding

"Professor, I think the shape of the Uruz reflects the auroch, especially because the auroch has long been held as a specific example of extraordinary strength."

"Very good Master Kettleburn, take two points for Ravenclaw!" Being correct twice in a row was impressive in her classes. She turned to the rest of the class trying to do her best not to laugh at Tipps... She conjured an image out of thin air and continued.

"See how the Aurochs look like the rune?" and with the wand drew the rune in red. What are the other meanings of Uruz, one per student please..." She asked sweetly.

Runes were good. Aurochs were plain scary. They didnt look alike AT ALL! Still, Evangeline raised her hand, glad that at least the pillow was warm. "Uruz can mean fertility for women, Miss."

... was Plymouth snuggling up to him? That was slightly.. freaky and - oh.. Plymouth's hair smelled kind of nice.

Odd..

Head tilting to one side, Clifford put his arm in the air.

"I think it means.. MANHOOD!" Grinning, the Head Boy gave his raised arm a flex. Muscles! "And being all... RAWR!"

Like he totally was.

"Endurance." Celandine repeated, hand raised.

Copernicus raised his hand as well. "Uruz can mean mental strength too, not just physical."

Abby raises her hand. "It also means danger."

herminny raised her hand and said, "I believe Uruz means strength of mind or body".

Raising her hand, Anna said, "Uruz can also mean speed." She didn't think anyone else had mentioned speed yet. Or, well, at least she didn't hope they had.

This was the man section of class. Obviously.

Meh, Jake had been pretty quiet since Professor Morgan showed up. He glared at his toes, VOWING to keep those two... women seperate from each other. Professor Morgan was giving HIM attention, right? NOBODY else.

So he wished.

Meh well, got to answer at some point, right? He raised his hand. "Wicked awesome?" Jake suggested, tilting his head.

"Professor, isnt the ancient meaning for Uruz the force behind Creation?" he said raising his hand.

"My grandma used to tell me that it had a variety of meanings, including power..." she said after raising her hand...she thought that was all her grandma had said...

Cedric raised his hand,"Professor,Does Uruz can be inferred as special abilities."He paused,"yah know like tenacity,that's special prof."

Sydney raised her hand, "Professor, Uruz also mean Freedom."

"Sort of Prefect Green, it's more femininity, than fertility... but they are connected." She nodded.

"Good Miss Toussaint..." she nodded at the girl.

"And that's important to a Ravenclaw," she said smiling and patting his head.

"Very Good, Prefect Greingoth..." She told her.

She blinked, then laughed. "I'll take that to mean virility. Prefect Carden, it seems Master Morgan has a new role model. I hope you're up to the task."

"Yes Prefect, this is a rune of new beginnings and I'll come back to that." she said to the boy.

"Yes, Miss Carrington," then turned to the class and said "let's see what's missing... Health, courage, energy, action, good changes, growth and transformation. Alright class... Merkstave meanings. ONE PER STUDENT please,"

ooc: I will deduct a point for each additional meaning.

Chris Potter raised his hand. "Well Professor one merstave meaning for the rune Uruz would be having your strength used against you." he said cheerily. I love this class' He thought to himself. He loved to use his own rune set to give people readings all the time.

Vanessa thought for a moment before raising her hand. "Could it mean Ignorance?"

Abby raises her hand. "One of Uruz's merkstave meanings is obsession." Abby is amazed at how many merkstave meansings Uruz has.

Raising her hand, Anna added, "One of the meanings for the Merkstave is 'dominated by others'." Yikes. That didn't sound too fun.

Naomi raised her hand. "Could it also mean untamed potential?"

Herminny raised her hand and said, "I believe one mershave meaning of uruz is to become completely overwhelmed because one is weak".

Copernicus raised his hand. "Professor, I believe a Merkstave meaning for Uruz is the failure to think clearly."

Plymouth was a strange one.. especially if like Professor Lupa said he's chosen CLIFFORD CARDEN to be his role model. Ah well, it was his problem. Hehe.

Once again, the Head Boy raised his hand. "What about sickness?"

Sydney smiled and raised her hand, "Professor, One of Merkstave meaning for Uruz is Inconsistency." The class was turning out to be good so far.
