Words in card names, again
« on: February 22, 2017, 11:52:34 am »
+7

So as if I had nothing better to do, here are the words (actually free morphemes) that appear in multiple card/event/landmark names. Any errors are my own.

10:
Village       (or 11: Villa, if you consider village to be decomposable into villa + -age)

8:
Castle

6:
Market
Trade

5:
Dame
Merchant
Sir

4:
House
Hunt
Treasure

3:
Art          (counting art as a constituent of artificer and artisan)
Bandit
Camp
City
Court
Duke       (assuming duchy and duchess are decomposable into duke + -y, -ess)
Farm
Ground
Land        (counting land as a constituent of island)
Man
Mine
Royal
Room
Ruin
Ship
Smith
Work


2:
Black
Bridge
Caravan
Copper
Count     (not really, the nobleman count and the verb count as in counting house are unrelated homonyms)
Cut
Estate
Fair
Fort        (assuming fort as a constituent of fortress)
Fortune
Gold
Grand
Hag
Haunt
Iron
Keep
King
Library
Lose
Make
Noble
Party
Pass
Post
Prince
Rat
Road
Scout
Sea
Secret
Stone
Tax
Tell
Tower
Triumph
Wall
Way
Witch
Wood
Yard


EDIT: Oh, and I guess function words too:
5: of

Count gets a "not really", but not "hag"? *Edit* lol, I was thinking of Sea Hag and Haggler, not Swamp Hag. I guess you don't count Haggler.

What's the other Fortune card?

If "Counterfeit" is polymorphemic, it's counter-feit, certainly not count-erfeit.

If you can do Duke and Duchess, surely you can do Fort and Fortress.

Yeah... maybe? I guess a better analogy is if island contains land, fortress contains fort. (I.e., even though it isn't clear what exactly the rest of the word is supposed to be.)

Yeah, okay, I'll add it.

Mountebank/Bank

Quick googling tells me they both derive from "bench/table"

I believe that "Fortress" is a corruption of Latin "Fortis", meaning 'strong' and thus, 'strong place/stronghold'. "Fort" is a shortened form of "fortification," from Latin "fortificere=fortis+facere "to make". So they have the same Latin root, even though they aren't actually derived from each other.

Yes, but I don't think there's a synchronic relationship.

I personally would just go with actual spellings of names that exist within other names; so Hag would be in Haggler, etc.

Sure, but he specified morphemes and not lexemes.  Jeez, man.

Of course, with my method, the inclusion of "Hag" is pretty arbitrary, if we aren't going to also include words like "A". I guess I was thinking more of card names that are contained within other card names... in which case Hag and Sir isn't anywhere, but Market and Village are.

And more importantly, not, just... strings of letters. The list for lexemes would be a lot shorter.
