When the term Miramichi is used, it is a multi-leveled concept. The Miramichi is a river, a city, a community, a region and a state of mind. It is unique and special in its own way. When local hockey broadcaster Hoppy Dunn began his radio telecasts, it was with "Hello, hockey fans from the headwaters of the Miramichi to the farewell buoy." Dunn captures in spirit what the term Miramichi means. \n\nhttp://www.inmgroup.net/jeep1/history/?Lang=EN\n\ns

The word Mississippi comes from the Ojibwa name for the river, "Messipi" (or Misi-ziibi in contemporary spelling), which means great river, or from the Algonquin Missi Sepe, "great river," poetically, "father of waters." The Ojibwe called Lake Itasca Omashkoozo-zaaga'igan (Elk Lake) and the river flowing out of it Omashkoozo-ziibi (Elk River). After flowing into Lake Bemidji, the Ojibwe called the river Bemijigamaa-ziibi (River from the Traversing Lake). After flowing into Cass Lake, the name of the river again changed to Miskwaawaakokaa-ziibi (Red Cedar River) and then to Gichi-ziibi (Big River) after flowing into Lake Winnibigoshish. The Ojibwe name Misi-ziibi applied only to the portion below the Crow Wing River, but the ever-changing names of the river seemed illogical to the English speakers, so after the expedition by Henry Schoolcraft, the longest stream above the juncture of the Crow Wing River and Gichi-ziibi was named "Mississippi River".

I see you are trying to translate the poem by Boris Pasternak. The translation is not exactly easy since some of the words either do not have direct translation or old Russian words that are no longer widely used. Plus he also plays with meanings of some words. All of the translations above are generic and done by online translators, which most of the times just translate separate words and, as a result, the whole text makes no sense. Here is my attempt to translate it.\n\nBaked (meaning 'it was really hot), and the coast was high. From the swum up boat the chain has fallen like a snake  - in sand, with the rattling rust - in water lilies (kupava, if I am not mistaken, is a flower similar to water lilies, or just some sort of plant that grows close to water or on water but close to the coast).\n\nAnd two appeared. I wanted to shout to them under the precipice (the break of the cliff): "Forgive me, be so are kind as to throw if not separate, than into river, as you wish.\n\nYou are true to the best samples. Certainly, that walking will find. But... Stop making noise with your boat, there is a  образчик (it usually means a sample, but here I would guess the author means a person that serves as an example  / a holder of certain great qualities) tormented in the grass.\n\nIt's not a great translation. But then again, this poem is a great example how rich Russian language is, and that it cannot always be translated word by word, even sentence by sentence.

My version of it's meaning:\n\nExample: I want to get into the water........I want to see real fish not pictures of fish\n\n\n\nWithin deepness is wonder, the endless azure pool--coolness for the burning heart. Within wonder is the Nameless--of It nothing can be said. To try is in vain. It drives the Almighty insane!\n\nSo you've prepared yourself well, but you must begin anew to understand laws that mortals find askew. Your love has limits. It cannot behold the swirling jewel.\n(author unknown)\n\nIn other words you can read things but until you actually experience it, you can only wonder about things.  No matter how old you get you will always have a new experience and more to learn about life

These point snipers are all incorrect. It means "of", like can't or O'Brian, it indicates one letter has been d'leted. It comes from the old english or maybe old Irish (so much for some bets) and has become an idiosyncrasy. I would have answered sooner but I had a hard time with Spell Check. Top o' the morning to you.

bon voyage means "safe passage" or "travel safe"\nau revoir means "until we meet again"\nbon viver would mean "good liver" or someone who lives well, I think...

I see it could be a spiritual inner longing thing.  hmm...or no.  The 'love' must be an actual person.  hmmm...\n\nthy soul is a river, they love cries out for thee, thy\nheart rises from the water, to greet her on a sunlit shore

In not real positive but it sounds like a native american word.  We have a word like that here in this community that is native related.  i could be totaly wrong though.

It is similar to games played on land such as Blind Man's Bluff.  Presumably the name, and the phrase, alludes to a famed explorer because the game involves exploration, that is trying to find something (or someone) by wandering around.

I am not going to read such an absurd theory. But come on, has he done any research to see if such a huge body of water in that area of the world can freeze over?? Has he even read the story?? Most bible historians believe that it was the Sea of Galilee where this happened which is a HUGE body of water! The story also states that a huge storm occured during this , so wouldnt the hugh waves during the storm,pretty much break up all the frozen water?? Just another antheist trying to gain some ground for Satan!

Sounds like some of the other naval terms like Backing down.\n would this maybe simply be a term for a manuver on the water.

Lake Chagooggaggoggmanchaugagoggcha.... is located in Massachusetts. In Native American, this lake's name means "I fish on my side, you fish on your side and nobody fish in the middle" but that was likely made up.
