Santiago

/sæntiˈɑːɡəʊ/

Chinese Filipino

Santiago
Santiago (disambiguation)

From Spanish Santiago, ellision of earlier Sant'Iago and Sant Iago, from Latin Sanctus Iācōbus (“Saint James or holy James”), the latter word deriving from Ancient Greek Ἰάκωβος (Iákōbos), from Hebrew יַעֲקֹב (ya‘ăqṓḇ, “Jacob”, literally “he will/shall heel”), from עָקֵב (‘āqḗḇ, “heel”) and the Biblical account of the patriarch Jacob's birth in Genesis 25:26. Piecewise doublet of Saint James.
The Guan Yu sense among Chinese Filipinos in the Philippines is due to a syncretic association of the deified Chinese general with St. James, who are both known for their assertiveness and heroism, which non-Chinese and people in the Philippines like Jose Rizal during the 19th century first associated with and/or surmised the Chinese folk deities venerated by Chinese Filipinos on Chinese altars and prints with popular Christian or Muslim figures.

Baltic

From Latin Balticus, from Latin Balthae (“dwellers near the Baltic sea”), equivalent to Balt + -ic. The ultimate origin is uncertain, but possibilities could include:

* Related to Lithuanian baltas (“white”) and Proto-Slavic *bolto (“swamp, bog, mud”), which is from Proto-Indo-European *bʰel- (“white”)
* Related to Latin balteus (“belt”) (compare Proto-Germanic *baltijaz), referring to the Danish straits, "the Belts". This is suggested by Adam of Bremen, who in the 11th century first recorded the name (Balticus, eo quod in modum baltei longo tractu per Scithicas regiones tendatur usque in Greciam).

Khunjerab Pass

In addition, several thousand P.L.A. troops are said to be stationed in the Khunjerab Pass on the Xinjiang border to protect Karakoram Highway construction crews, with ready access to Gilgit-Baltistan.

2010 September 8, Selig S. Harrison, “China's Presence in Pakistan”, in The New York Times, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2015-09-23, Opinion:

The Karakoram Highway, which links China and Pakistan over the 15,400-foot Khunjerab Pass, winds through some spectacular gorges along the route of the old Silk Road. The international "Friendship Highway," which isn't even paved on the Pakistani side, is so unstable and prone to flash floods that almost 900 workers died during its construction, mostly crushed by landslides.

2013 October 15, “World's most dangerous roads”, in USA Today, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2013-11-10:

On the Chinese side we drove up the 4,700-meter-high Khunjerab Pass from Kashgar - which was like driving through the Black Forest to Lake Titisee. At the border station the road ended abruptly, cut off like a piece of cake, before continuing a good meter lower down. The comfortable, tarred road suddenly became a dangerous, rough, rubble-strewn one.

2015 April 24, Frank Sieren, “Sieren's China: Beijing's 'Marshall Plan' for Pakistan”, in Deutsche Welle, archived from the original on 2015-08-29, China:

A mountain pass that connects Xinjiang region of China with Northern Areas of Pakistan. It is the highest point on Karakoram Highway, at an altitude of 4,693 metres (15,397 feet), which makes it the highest paved international border crossing in the world.

Seriland

On entering Seriland, as the territory was spontaneously designated by different members of the expedition...

1896, W. J. McGee, Expedition to Papagueria and Seriland, in American Anthropologist, Vol. 9, No. 3

It is especially fortunate that Seriland should have been explored by an ethnologist eminently fitted to describe the physiographic features of that little-known region.

1901, Frank Russell, review of The Seri Indians, in The American Naturalist, Vol. 35, No. 418

Twenty years after the delivery of the Yaqui hands (1922) the senior author, under arrangement with the Museum of the American Indian in New York, carried out his first expedition into the heart of Seriland.

1945, Edward H. Davis & E. Yale Dawson, The Savage Seris of Sonora—II, in The Scientific Monthly, Vol. 60, No. 4

Few captives could survive the journey from the Sonoran settlements to Seriland—one of the world’s most difficult.

1962, Ronald L. Ives, The Legend of the “White Queen” of the Seri, in Western Folklore, Vol. 21, No. 3

Nelze zajisté pochybovati, že aspoň celá střední Evropa více nežli tisíc let před narozením Páně již osazena byla od národů toho původu a že jako později, tak i dříve mnozí národové volně i nevolně z krajin do krajin se stěhujíce, potiskovali své sousedy, je ze sídel jejich vyháněli i sami zase od jiných vypuzováni byli.

PRD

Given our geographical location and cultural ties, we have a special relationship with Guangdong Province, particularly the PRD.[…]We should make the PRD the economic hinterland supporting development in the rest of the country. In turn, the PRD can use Hong Kong's strengths to elevate its status and competitiveness to become a global player.

2003 January 8, “III. Expediting Economic Integration with the PRD”, in South China Morning Post, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2023-08-20:

There’s no doubt that the core of Pan-PRD cooperation is the integration between Hong Kong and the PRD. The PRD has always been Hong Kong's major partner in economic development. Twenty years ago, Hong Kong manufacturers began migrating across the border, thereby turning the PRD into a regional factory of consumer goods for the world market. Now, over 70 percent of the investments in the PRD come from Hong Kong, and 10 million workers in that region work for Hong Kong capitalized enterprises. And we have 230,000 Hong Kong citizens working immediately north of the border.

2004, Eden Woon, “The Pearl River Delta: What Now?”, in Business Guide to the Greater Pearl River Delta, Hong Kong: China Briefing Media Ltd.; Dezan Shira & Associates, →OCLC, page 4:

"We think that the majority of the growth will be coming from the PRD markets," he said, referring to the Pearl River Delta, while growth coming from Hong Kong will be only around 4 percent in the next 10 years, Bishop said.[…]
"The threat to HKIA from new airports in the Pearl River Delta is real," Mathison said, referring to Hong Kong's international airport, which is why Cathay needs to "make Hong Kong more competitive as a transit hub for cargo originating from the PRD manufacturing centers."

2006 July 19, Vaudine England, “Cathay's cargo homeward bound - Business - International Herald Tribune”, in The New York Times, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2023-10-15, International Business:

In nearby Dongguan, a gritty, densely packed manufacturing hub in the PRD, factories have also been provisioning for a minimum wage hike from the current level of around 780 yuan.

Europe centrale

1839-1842 — Louis Agassiz, Histoire des poissons d'eau douce en Europe centrale

Du reste, ainsi que me le marquait la lettre, j’aurais grand plaisir et grand profit à visiter cette région de la Hongrie. C’est par excellence le pays magyar, dont le passé est riche de tant de faits héroïques, et qui, rebelle à tout mélange avec les races germaniques, occupe une place considérable dans l’histoire de l’Europe centrale.

1910, Jules Verne, chapter 1, in Le Secret de Wilhem Storitz:

Appuyer les protestants d’Allemagne, c’était réveiller les méfiances des catholiques français, enhardir nos propres protestants qui s’agitaient dans le Midi. Le Conseil décida de n’intervenir que pour conseiller la paix à l’Union évangélique allemande. Il craignait en somme d’être entraîné dans un grand conflit de l’Europe centrale et s’efforçait de l’empêcher par le moyen ordinaire des médiations diplomatiques.

1924, Jacques Bainville, chapter XI, in Histoire de France:

1933 — Claude Bourdet, Wörgl ou l’« argent fondant » in l’Illustration (4723:56-57)

À peu près inconnue en France, l’économie libre groupe en Suisse et dans les pays de l’Europe centrale de nombreux adhérents.


Europa Central

El resultado es que España, despreciada injustamente en el Congreso de Viena, desacreditada con razón por sus continuas guerras civiles, sus malos gobiernos, su desorden, sus bancarrotas más o menos declaradas, sus inmorales partidos, sus extravagancias, sus toros y sus pronunciamientos, no ha visto nunca, después de 1808, puesta en duda la continuación de su nacionalidad; y aún hoy mismo, cuando parece hemos llegado al último grado del envilecimiento, con más motivos que Polonia para ser repartida, nadie se atreve a intentar la conquista de esta casa de locos. Hombres de poco seso, o sin ninguno en ocasiones, los españoles darán mil caídas hoy como siempre, tropezando y levantándose, en la lucha de sus vicios ingénitos, de las cualidades eminentes que aún conservan, y de las que adquieren lentamente con las ideas que les envía la Europa central.

1873, Benito Pérez Galdós, chapter 30, in Zaragoza:

En vista de los últimos acontecimientos políticos que han tenido como escenario a la totalidad de Europa, sería que el debate sobre este punto se encontrará en el Movimiento Obrero, perspectiva y coordinación en la Europa Central.
