Mr Mystery Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 [u][b]Duralia[/b][/u] Not much is given with the term Duralia. But, the name itself might have originated from the Name Durali( A male version of that name) (no source for this, just a guess) But if it were to originate to Durali. Then it would have a cultural background of German, according to thi site: [url]http://www.babynology.com/test/meaning-durali-m24.html[/url] This is all assuming that the name originates for Durali. A Book: The Duralia Name in History [url]http://www.amazon.com/Duralia-Name-History-Ancestry-com/dp/B000WRCXE2[/url] Not sure wants in it. But seems to have some background to US, or north america.

apophys Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Buri is the Japanese name for large yellowtail fish. Buri caught in winter are called [b]kamburi[/b], and are fattier and tastier. http://kikuko.web.infoseek.co.jp/english/B.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_amberjack This is probably the reason for the link to the Japanese army that Z found. In the Caribbean area, [b]Camburu[/b] is the common name of some moray eels, [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_moray"][i]Gymnothorax funebris[/i][/url] and [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_moray"][i]Gymnothorax moringa[/i][/url].

Sephirah Caelum Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I don't think this have to be with Romania or Greece but this is what I found about [b][u]Camburi[/u][/b]: Free translation: Camburi or Cambury cames from Kamury a type of fish. The 'mu' can be transformed in 'mbu',(...). The fish is known in Manaus/AM, Brazil, as Kamurin. Could be as well kamury 'y wich means river of the camurins. Source: [url="http://camburicamburizinho.com.br/etimologia-de-camburi/"][size="3"][font="Times New Roman"]Se realmente for de origem tupi, e provavelmente é, Camburi (na certa também há a variação de cambury) provavelmente deriva de kamury que é uma espécie de peixe. O mu pode se transformar em mbu, por exemplo, muru (certo tipo de planta canácea/possui também outros significados) pode ser dito também na forma mburu. Da mesma forma como o mo pode ser escrito como mbo (pó também pode ser mbó /ambos significam mão) então camuri pode se transformar em camburi. A espécie é conhecida como robalo, mas na minha região (Manaus-Amazônia) é camurim mesmo! Poderia ser kamuri+’y (peixe camurim + rio = rio dos camurins ou rio dos robalos), pois água é ‘y (que é uma vogal média, é uma vogal entre o ‘i’ e o ‘u’/lábios em forma de ‘i’ mas pronunciando ‘u’).Eu acredito que seja por ai.[/font][/size][/url] [url="http://xembae.blogspot.com/"]Blog of Mbo’esara Esãîa Tremembé[/url], the one who gave the explanation above.

Magnus X Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 oh gee, Mur, i thought we were to send you answers by pm. sorry... sent you one yesterday at 1pm about the Maha. in case you havent check your mail, here's what i sent you: Here’s what I could come up so far: The word “Maha” in Urdu, means “moon-like” or “resembling a moon.” In Arabic, it refers to a kind of deer with “large eyes” (which may also mean “beautiful eyes”) In Hindi, it is used as an adjective, which means “great.” Like Mahatma – “great soul,” Maharishi – “great sages,” or Maharaja – “great king” It seems to me that the compounded meaning directs to something that is round like the moon or the eyes, and large or of great size or magnanimity. Mystically, it could come to mean something that is of great importance like the circle or cycle of life – the orouborus. A sphere of arcane knowledge perhaps? Hehe..I’m pushing it too far, am i? Also in a more recent history, it directs to a Native American Omaha Tribe that lived along the “River of the Mahas” in 17[sup]th[/sup] century Iowa. A French cartographer mapped the tribe as “The Maha, a wandering nation” in 1718.

Magnus X Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 it seems to me that the word "Camburu" refers to the word Camburus/Cambarus which is a genus of crustaceans. for example: [b]Scientific Name :[/b] Cambaridae [color="#8b0000"]Camburus[/color] [b]Common Names :[/b] Crawdad, Crayfish, Crawfish [b]Origin / Habitat :[/b] Different species all over the world [b]Temperament / Behavior :[/b] May fight with other invertebrates and go after smaller fish. sources: http://www.fishlore.com/Profiles-Crayfish.htm also sourced in the pdf file attached. go to page11 and look up the first crustacean mentioned under the Taxa column Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
