ArchivesArwen - and Awen
Hi there! I was interested to see that there's a member of the Wales ladies' rugby team (yes, I know ...) called Awen - can't recall the surname.
Is this the same as Arwen, does anyone know, or is it something completely different? Pronunciation ... ?
By the way, they beat South Africa twice. Oh well.
Just on a happier note - SA male rugby players have been the Springboks or the Boks for about a hundred years, and in Afrikaans they are the Bokke. And when we won the World Cup in 1995 there was suddenly a need for an African nickname, and they became the Amabokoboko, ama- being a plural prefix. OK. Then along came the ladies, and a radio commentator is suggesting they be known as the Mamabokoboko. Not too sure about that, but it's fun!
