Or maybe it's 'Belief It Or Not's guest" who explains Samhain (pronounced 'souwwen') in a video linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The word “Samhain” more-or-less means Summer's End (the ancient Celtic festival celebrates the beginning of |Winter & the New Year ... apparently the subtlety of Autumn wasn't invented until more recently).

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
