    The name of which famous band is also the Aramaic word for 'the father, my father'?

    Question #122386. Asked by iwa2. (Jul 12 11 3:51 AM)

    ABBA

    'Abba' is clearly cognate with the Hebrew word 'ab (pronounced 'ahv), "Father." More specifically, it would be cognate to the Hebrew word with the definite article, ha'ab ("the Father"), because the ending -a' on the Aramaic makes it a determined or definite noun. Hence, the translation could be "the Father" or "my Father" of just "Father."

    Can anyone identify a poem about a young man caring for his father, as his father is old and weakened by illness? There is something about his father with his arms out, swinging the son as a child, possibly comparing the father to a tree, and the words "it's alright Dad" or maybe "it's ok Dad" are repeated several times. I've been trying to find it for years now with no success.

    The father played the older version of his son in a movie while the son played the older version of his father in a TV series in which they lived at the Elliot Bay Towers, though not at the same time. Who is this real-life father and son duo?

    What actress considered Telly Savalas to be her real father and not just her step-father?
