In the beginning God said something.

 

We're not sure what it was.

Maybe it was, "Pull my finger".

Nobody really knows.

The Algorithm blocked it.

Maybe anyday is a good day to get pickled?

Maybe what the Uighurs did to tolerate being snared 1300 years ago?

Hence the AppleBrandy?

Until the end of the Tin Pot Monarchy, stay dull?

 

Earliest History of Liquor: Distilled Spirits Timeline

 

Some have suggested that distillation was developed in China.1 Others contend it was in Italy.2 But most authorities believe it was in Arabia. Two names are sometimes mentioned. One is the physician Rhazer (852-932?).3 Another is the alchemist Jabir in Hayyan around 800 A.D.4 Alcohol (al kohl or alkuhl) is Arabic in name.5

 

Arnaldus of Villanova (d. 1315), a professor of medicine, is credited with coining the term aqua vitae. “We call it [distilled spirit] aqua vitae [life water], and this name is remarkably suitable. It is really a water of immortality. It prolongs life, clears away ill-humors, revives the heart, and maintains youth.”8

23 = W

 

The classical Latin alphabet, from which the modern European alphabets derived, did not have the "W" character. The "W" sounds were represented by the Latin letter "V" (at the time, not yet distinct from "U").

 

The sounds /w/ (spelled ⟨V⟩) and /b/ (spelled ⟨B⟩) of Classical Latin developed into the voiced bilabial fricative /β/ between vowels in Early Medieval Latin. Therefore, ⟨V⟩ no longer adequately represented the voiced labial-velar approximant sound /w/ of Germanic phonology.

 

 

The Germanic /w/ phoneme was, therefore, written as ⟨VV⟩ or ⟨uu⟩ (⟨u⟩ and ⟨v⟩ becoming distinct only by the Early Modern period) by the earliest writers of Old English and Old High German, in the 7th or 8th centuries.[3] Gothic (not Latin-based), by contrast, had simply used a letter based on the Greek Υ for the same sound in the 4th century. The digraph ⟨VV⟩/⟨uu⟩ was also used in Medieval Latin to represent Germanic names, including Gothic ones like Wamba.

 

It is from this ⟨uu⟩ digraph that the modern name "double U" derives. The digraph was commonly used in the spelling of Old High German but only in the earliest texts in Old English, where the /w/ sound soon came to be represented by borrowing the rune ⟨ᚹ⟩, adapted as the Latin letter wynn: ⟨ƿ⟩. In early Middle English, following the 11th-century Norman Conquest, ⟨uu⟩ regained popularity; by 1300, it had taken wynn's place in common use.
