Lingua Volgare Shorthand

[MarcoP]

Again about the first of the three “translated” “sentences” (Seven Criteria):

In the first sentence (3.1.1) according to the context, a reference is made possibly to a plant named "Nolie" (Nolia/Noglia), which has a direct translation in the lingua volgare as "boredom" ("noia" in Italian), but which we have not been able to identify.

The word “nolie” is unattested in the corpus of Italian, but the singular “nolia” occurs once (“Lamento dei Veneziani”, 1509) and it is believed to be a synonym of “noia” (boredom). 
Here “nolie” is interpreted as:

1. singular, rather than the plural suggested by morphology ("noie" is the plural of "noia")
   
2. the name of a plant (which is 100% made up)
   

Words are assigned arbitrary meanings based on “context”. “Context” is circularly defined by word “meanings” which are either made up or You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..
