@JoonasIlmavirta Wiki gives "amens" as "frenzied"/"mad; it's a bit like "rabies", then? Did the Romans pronounce this the way we do, "raybeez"?
@Joonas: I understand that Finland is having problems with migrants from various places, crossing over from Russia? Hope your government is more effective than ours at dealing with illegal immigration.
@tony It doesn't refer to a medical condition but a state of mind, so I don't think "rabies" is a good description. Plenty of things can make a person mad.
No, the Latin pronunciation of "rabies" was quite different from the English one. The R and the B are the only things that go right, the vowels and the last consonant are off.
@tony Yes, that appears to be an issue these days, but I haven't followed the details.
