1. „X‟ is a Sumerian rendering of a foreign word into
Sumerian syllables, and then by modern scholars into
English. These people were found somewhere to the south
east of Sumer, the Sumerian capital.
In the book, “History of Civilizations of Central Asia
(vol.1)”, by A.H. Dhani and B.K.Thapar, „X‟ is derived
from a Sanskrit word meaning “A Stranger of
ill‐pronounced speech”. „X‟ is supposed to have traded
carnelian, ivory, shell, lapis lazuli and jewels with
Sumeria. This word came back into prominence in India
recently.
Give me „X‟ .

2.The following is an excerpt from a Cricinfo article
published on April 1, 2011:
“Sir Alex Ferguson is a huge admirer of X. He says, X
will certainly have a positive impact on Van Der
Saar‟s successor. Goalkeepers often find themselves
in similar situation where they‟ve to guess the path of
the ball, use their footwork and agility. Hence, X will
be of immense help to the Manchester United team as
a Goalkeeping advisor.”

3.„X‟ describes „Y‟ in these terms :-

Should guilty seek asylum here,
Like one pardoned, he becomes free from sin.
Should a sinner make his way to this mansion,
All his past sins are to be washed away.
The sight of this mansion creates sorrowing sighs;
And the sun and the moon shed tears from their
eyes.
In this world this edifice has been made;
To display thereby the creator's glory.

Give me X && Y.

6.To understand this word, one has to go back to the days
when movies were shown continuously in theaters and the

until you came to the point "where you came in". The
coming attractions reel would be spliced onto the end of
the last reel of the movie. What word is derived from the
above-mentioned practice?

more than once been very useful to me. I
slipped through his grip, and he with a
horrible scream kicked madly for a few
seconds and clawed the air with both his
hands…”
