Moše

Moše (pronounced [ˈmoːʃɛ]; German: Mosche) is a village on the left bank of the Sava River in the Municipality of Medvode in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It lies southeast of Lake Trboje, the reservoir of the Mavčiče Hydroelectric Plant on the Sava River.

Name

Moše was attested in written sources in 1334 as Pruk (and as Prukk in 1355, Mossah in 1496, and Mosnach vnder Flednikch in 1478). The Slovene name is derived from the plural accusative demonym *Moščane 'those that live by the bridge' from the Slovene common noun most 'bridge' (confirmed by the Bavarian Middle High German name Pruk(k), which corresponds to modern German Brücke 'bridge'). In the past the German name was Mosche.

Church

The church in the settlement is dedicated to Saint Michael and was originally a gothic building. It was first mentioned in documents dating to 1526. It is a single-nave structure with an octagonal chancel walled on five side. The church was renovated in 1859, and again in 1884 in a pseudo-Gothic style. Except for the Way of the Cross, which was painted in 1828, the interior of the church and its furnishings are decorated in the pseudo-Gothic style.

Moe (slang)

Moe (萌え, pronounced [mo.e]) is a Japanese slang word, and loanword that refers to feelings of strong affection mainly towards characters in anime, manga, and video games. Moe however, has also gained usage to refer to feelings of affection towards any subject. Moe can lead to sexual feelings and desires; however, thinking too heavily about it is considered outside the scope. The word Moe originated in the late 1980s and early 1990s in Japan and is of uncertain origin, although there are several theories on how it came into use. Moe characters have expanded through Japanese media, and have contributed positively to the Japanese economy. Contests both online, and in the real world exist for Moe-type things including one run by one of the Japanese game rating boards. Various notable commentators such as Tamaki Saitō, Hiroki Azuma, and Kazuya Tsurumaki have also given their take on Moe, and its meaning.

Overview

Moe used in slang refers to feelings of affection, adoration, devotion, and excitement felt towards characters that appear in manga, anime, or video games. Characters that elicit feelings of moe are called "moe characters." The word has also evolved to be used regarding all kinds of topics. Included in the meaning of the word is the idea that "deep feelings felt towards a particular subject" is used in cases where a simple "like" is not enough to express the feeling. The common feature in all feelings of moe is that the subject of such feelings are things that one cannot possibly have a real relationship with, like fictional characters, idols, or inorganic substances. It can be considered a kind of "pseudo-romance," but it is not always seen to be the same as "romance."
