    Hooray! A Soul of Turkey's Board!

    I've done some research into this, whether it's in the right direction or not I'm not bothered atm because it's worth the try.

    I concentrated mainly on the Soul of Turkey's.

    I first looked for definitions of those words:

    Turkey - in slang can be a failure (theatrical or movie failure especially)
    or A person considered inept or undesirable.

    but ignore that just for a second.

    After the whole geographical history thing I looked at what was the capital of Turkey, as the Soul could be classed as the 'center'.

    The capital city is Ankara - which Rantzien thought may have related to Anklet.

    I then went onto Wikipedia and looked at some History for Turkey and found some really interesting facts -

    some scholars have proposed Anatolia as the hypothetical center from which the Indo-European languages have radiated - Anatolia is "hypothetically" the center. Could this be any relation?
    I then looked on further.
    Iron Age peoples that have settled in or conquered Anatolia include the Phrygians, Hittites, Lydians, Lycians, Mushki, Kurds, Cimmerians, Armenians, Persians, Tabals and Greeks.

    Greeks were the one thing that I noticed first. Of course, the word Gaia (FF9's earth) is the greek mythological word used for OUR earth. Any coincidence?

    That's all I've got so far I'll look into it all more.
    I'll figure it out later...

    Actually, Gaia was a Greek earth goddess. Their word for earth was 'ge'. And our Earth isn't mythological, so I believe you mean 'Ancient Greek'.

    Hmm.. Wikipedia says different, yes she was the earth goddess BUT, Gaia was also the word for Earth, the word ge or ga was the word for land, not earth.

    Gaia, known as Earth or Mother Earth (the Greek common noun for "land" is ge or ga).

    And Wikipedia is the be-all-and-end-all of information is it? I did 6 years of Latin and Ancient Greek. Ge was the ancient greek for earth.

    Oh my God! That is soooo good! Which makes it harder for me to say that none of it's right.

    Remeber my mistake. "Soul of Turkey" will relate to my mistaken "Disciple". So have a look into religion as well as geography.

    With "Hooray!" I suggest you look back.

    And with "Board!" I suggest you just leave it. Once you have "Hooray! A soul of Turkey's" figured out, the rest will come easy.


    Oh and Wikipedia is where I got my mistake corrected

    Disciple should not be confused with apostle, meaning "one who is sent" or "ambassador". While a disciple is one who learns from a teacher, an apostle is sent on a mission, such as to deliver those teachings to others.

    Turkey may refer to:

    Turkey, a country in Southeastern Europe and western Asia
    Turkey (bird), a large game bird, native to North America
    Meat from the Domesticated turkey, used for food
    There is an Australian Bird, sometimes known as the "Australian Turkey" or "Brush Turkey." However, its proper name is the Australian Bustard.
    Turkey, North Carolina, a town in the USA
    Turkey, Texas, a town in the USA
    In bowling a turkey refers to three consecutive strikes.
    "Cold turkey", a withdrawal from drug addiction without gradual tapering off usage.
    A 'Turkey' - a useless thing or unwise purchase or a foolish or despicable person in CB Radio slang
    Turkey movies are exploitative B-films, most often featuring sub-par sex, violence and gore.

    All from wikipedia

    See if it helps
    I'll figure it out later...

    Unfortunately no. But on the right lines with people-ness.

    Here's a big hint. If you're a soul of Turkey, do you not think you might come from Turkey?

    ooooh!!

    In the Turkish language - The name Can = life / soul BUT it's pronounced as JOHN who was an apostle (The fact it's a name can refer to the fact of him being a soul of turkey.)

    CAN
    Gender: Masculine

    Usage: Turkish

    Means "soul" or "life" in Turkish.

    Cc = "J" as in "judge" ( can= life, soul, pronounced like "John" )

    Apostle - John, sons of Zebedee, called by Jesus Boanerges (an Aramaic name explained in Mk 3:17 as "Sons of Thunder") John took, together with Peter, a prominent part in the founding and guidance of the church. John is traditionally held to be the author of five books of the New Testament, including the Gospel of John. In art, John as the presumed author of the Gospel is often depicted with an eagle, which symbolizes the height he rose in the first chapter of his gospel.

    I've been looking mostly into all the "Holy" equipment, Holy Miter - The hat of a bishop basically. But I'm also doing some investigation into Madeen who is a Holy elemental Eidolon.
    I'll figure it out later...

    As cool as that is, John has nothing to do with it. You're thinking far too deep into my words. They are very literal and completely english.

    Also, the answer is nowhere near as important as Holy Miter or any Eidolons.

    Maybe the answer is somehow related to an Apostle from Turkey...maybe....
