Here's an etymology:Originally posted by MrGongGong View PostHummmm

From Old English æfnung - "the coming of evening, sunset, time around sunset". Verbal noun from æfnian - "become evening, grow toward evening". From æfen - "evening". As a synonym of even (n.) in the sense "time from sunset to bedtime," it dates from mid-15c. and now entirely replaces the older word in this sense. Another Old English noun for "evening" was cwildtid.
Gesælige cristesmæsse everyone! Here's a gift (I have been altering this a little every year since 1993; this is the 2014 version.):
Or maybe just waes hael!Comment

A great Christmas gift would be for a geek wizard to make Sibelius able to play woodwind trills more convincingly

Happy Christmas to all !

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
