Afsluitdijk #
  • The Afsluitdijk (... English: "Enclosure Dam") is a major dam and causeway in the Netherlands. [18]
  • The Afsluitdijk is a fundamental part of the larger Zuiderzee Works, damming off the Zuiderzee, a salt water inlet of the North Sea, and turning it into the fresh water lake of the IJsselmeer. The dam serves as a sea barrier to protect the inland against flooding.
Afsluitdijk #Trivia
  • The Dutch word 'dijk' (dike) is actually a division between land and water. The name Afsluitdijk would be correct if the entire IJsselmeer had been drained. However, due to the change of plans it was left flooded so the Afsluitdijk is a barrier between two bodies of waters. In Dutch that is a 'dam'. This structure could more properly be called 'Afsluitdam'.

  1. (transitive) to close off, seal

WHY & HOW it is vital
From: Wikipedia: Great Flood (China)
He figures prominently in the Chinese legend of "Great Yu Who Controlled the Waters" (Chinese: 大禹治水; pinyin: Dà Yǔ Zhì Shuǐ).
Still in 2020 summer, we saw such a disastrous flooding along the Yangtze River.
The readers do miss the story of such a thrilling success he made by controlling the huge body of water that he may well be called the father of flood control, or 한물(hanmur, "flood") + 아비(abi, "father") in Korean wordplay.

    Yule in itself is simply "midwinter," or more simply "winter," or more precisely, "the two-month midwinter season (December and January)" as noted above. Etymology reads Proto-Germanic meaning "festivity, celebration," and PIE "joke, play," while OE ġeōl, equivalent to Korean 겨울 (gyeoul, "winter"), may well compare with Italian gelo ("intense cold, frost"), Latin gelo ("I freeze, cause to congeal"), even English cold, etc.

  52. One theory about the etymology of 바둑 (badug) is that it was known as 바독 (badog), a diminutive of 바닥 (badag, "base"), hence the go board. Another is that either 바둑 or 바독 or the dialect 바돌 (badol) means 바둑돌 (badug-dol, "go stone"), which fits the opening phrase well.
