Ounce and inch come from uncia
Well, what can I say? I like knowing stuff like this
Kanaka
Is of course a name for a native of Hawaii, quite why that is here I do not know. I think have phonetically misspelt something.
Round city with four axis
No idea, there is a four axis car audio and entertainment company in Redditch but that's a bit random even for me as Crown Prince of Randomania
Golden Palace
This could be anything from a ancient citadel to a Chinese take-away.
Paper
What a useful bit of note taking.
Bait al-Hikma: House of Wisdom
Oh yeah! That's more like it. Useful note taking. I want to go here
Al-Khwarizmi
Main contender for smartest cookie in/on the box/planet at the time. Without him there would quite literally not be nothing.
Contracts dates of delivery, Inventories + accounting records
All these very very useful though not particularly glamorous things exist because of him
Dies mensis
Alas all I can find is some kind of Latin reference to death by menstrual cycle, which can't be right can it?
