Page 911 in Webster's III '61

Beginning with 'Friction and ending with 'Frighten' (Terror), page 911 of Webster's III New International Dictionary, 1961, centers on the word 'Friends.'

(If this is your first exposure to "Alphabetics" you might want to glance at an introductory document or read a quick teaser.)

Quoting Page 911:

The words on page 911 of Webster's III New International Dictionary, 1961, are applicable to the tragic events of September 11, 2001 (9/11).

The first word defined on the page is frication, meaning (first definition) "friction."  Various forms of the word "friction" take up the first of three columns.

The last word defined on the page is frighten, meaning "throw into a state of alarm : make afraid : TERRIFY" -- and obvious variation of "TERRORIST."  Various forms of the word frighten, beginning with fright occupy the last third of the third column.

Sandwiched between the friction column and the frighten column is a word with its various forms that takes up nearly the entire middle column:  friend

friend - 1. one that seeks the society or welfare of another whom he holds in affection, respect, or esteem or whose companionship and personality are pleasurable : an intimate association especially when other than a lover or relative -- often used as a form of address. 2. a. one not hostile or not an enemy b. one that is of the same nation, party, or other group and whose friendly feelings are assumed or from whom sympathy or cooperation is expected  3. one that gives assistance or that favors or promotes something.

While the words friction and frighten are obvious correlations in this context, the word friend is perhaps totally unexpected, unless, of course, the opposite meaning of foe is being applied.

However, it is consistent with the other studies we have done, showing the need for the two estranged brother of long ago, namely Ishmael and Isaac, today manifest as the Arab world and the Jewish/Gentile Christian (Ephraim) world, need to be reconciled -- and will be reconciled.

One final observation I will make here, though it may be trivial, is that the word friday is also defined on the page.  It was on Friday, Sept. 14, that I looked up page 911 in this dictionary and made the above discovery.

Sincerely,
