.ma

.ma is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Morocco. A local registrar with a local Moroccan company as administrative contact is needed to register an .ma or .co.ma domain name. Further restrictions are imposed on the registering of other second-level domains (such as .net.ma or .gov.ma).

History

In 1993, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) approved a request for delegation of the .ma ccTLD for administrative and technical contact to Ecole Mohammadia d'Ingénieurs.

In 1995 the technical management of the .ma domain was taken over by Maroc Telecom is still the (not formal) technical maintainer.

On 12 May 2006 IANA redesignated the administrative and technical contact for the domain, and made ANRT (Agence Nationale de Réglementation des Télécommunications) the only official registrar for the .ma ccTLD.

Within some years the ANRT will request the market to bid on a "Technical maintainer" license which is valid for five years. The new party will get 12 months to implement a provisioning system based on Extensible Provisioning Protocol. Automatic provisioning of .ma domains cannot be expected until 2013.

Maß

The Maß (pronounced [ˈmaːs]) or Mass (pronounced [ˈmas]) is the Bavarian language word describing the amount of beer in a regulation mug, in modern times exactly 1 litre (33.8 US fl oz).

Maß is often used as an abbreviation for the handled drinking vessel containing it, a Maßkrug. Ubiquitous in Bavarian beer gardens and beer halls and a staple of Oktoberfest it is often acceptably referred to as a beer mug by English speakers but may only be a beer stein if made of stoneware and capable of holding a regulation Maß of beer.

Linguistics

The word "Maß" can be of either neuter or female grammatical gender. In its neuter form, das Maß, it is the German word for "measure". Its feminine version, "die Maß", is used in southern Germany and Austria to refer to a one litre glass beer mug or its contents. It is spelt "Maß" or "Mass" (both spellings are allowed) in Germany and Austria, "Mass" in Switzerland. The plural is Maßkrüge.

A stoneware mug is a form of beer stein, another type of vessel which may only be referred to as a Maß if capable of holding a regulation quantity of beer.

Ma (cuneiform)


The cuneiform ma sign, is found in both the 14th century BC Amarna letters and the Epic of Gilgamesh. In the Epic it is also used as the sumerogram MA, (for Akkadian language "mina", manû, a weight measure, as MA.NA, or MA.NA.ÀM). The ma sign is often used at the end of words, besides its alphabetic usage inside words as syllabic ma, elsewhere for m, or a.

The usage of cuneiform ma in the Epic of Gilgamesh, is only exceeded by the usage of a (cuneiform) (1369 times, and 58, A (sumerogram), versus 1047 times for ma, 6 for MA (sumerogram)). The high usage for a is partially a result of the prepositional use for a-na-(Akkadian "ana", to, for, etc.); "i", also has an increased prepositional use of i (cuneiform), for Akkadian ina, (i-na), for in, into, etc.

    Tú, con tus ojos
    con brillo de luna
    y tu boca envidiosa
    que no da, que no da,
    que no da nada.
    Tú, con tu amante
    y amigo el viento
    que alborota tu cabello
    y revela todos tus sueños.
    Revueltos, rebeldes, locos,
    enamorados del ayer
    del mañana y del deseo
    de lo que quiero ser,
    y mañana, si hay mañana
    yo serà .
    Y mañana, mañana, mañana,
    si despierto
    al despuntar el alba
    irà a buscarte
    a alguna parte
    para confesarte.
    Y mañana, mañana, mañana,
    si tú me dices
    que no sientes nada
    te dirà que no me importa
    todavía hay más mañana.
    Y mañana, mañana, mañana,
    que salga el sol
    y estemos los dos
    enamorados, de la mano,
    te dirà que hay más mañana
    que otra vez.
    Tú que me miras
    sin pizca de nada
    sólo logro arrancarte palabras
    y enloqueces mis sentidos.
    Con tus formas cual destino
    el de no poder ser viento
    y enredarme en todo tu cuerpo
    todo tú,
    sabe Dios quà es lo que te dió
    para provocar tanto amor
    sabe Él si alguna vez
    tu magia me haga bien.
    Y mañana, mañana, mañana,
    lo sabrà .
    Y mañana, mañana, mañana,
    si despierto
    al despuntar el alba
    irà a buscarte
    a alguna parte
    para confesarte.
    Y mañana, mañana, mañana,
    si tú me dices
    que no sientes nada
    te dirà que no me importa
    todavía hay más mañana.
    Y mañana, mañana, mañana,
    que salga el sol
    y estemos los dos
    enamorados, de la mano,
    te dirà que hay más mañana
    que otra vez.
