Rada

Rada is the term for "parliament" or "assembly" or some other "council" in several Slavic languages. Normally it is translated as "council". Sometimes it corresponds to "parliament", or in Soviet Union contexts, to "soviet". It also carries a meaning of advice, as in the English word "counsel".

Etymology

Old High German rāt (from Proto-Germanic *rēdaz) passed (possibly through Polish) into Czech, Slovak, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian languages.

Råd in Norwegian/Danish/Swedish and Rat in German, Raati in Finnish and Raad in Estonia/Dutch means "council" or "assembly" but also "advice", as it does in East Slavic (except Russian) and West Slavic, but not in South Slavic languages.

In Swedish the verb råda (to council) is based on the substantive råd. This is similar to Danish; "råd" (noun) and "råde" (verb).

    Rada (fiqh)

    Raḍāʿ or riḍāʿa (Arabic: رضاع, رضاعة) is a technical term from Sunni Islamic jurisprudence meaning "the suckling which produces the legal impediment to marriage of foster-kinship". The term derives from the infinitive noun of the Arabic word radiʿa or radaʿa ("he sucked the breast of his mother"). Often it is translated as "fosterage" or "milk-kinship".

    The concept of radāʿ derives from Islamic and pre-Islamic notions concerning the state of consanguinity created between wet nurse and unrelated nursling—that is, a woman and a baby other than her own—through the act of breastfeeding. Radāʿ also defines the links between various relations and family members of both wet nurse and baby, such that not only are the two forbidden in marriage to one another, but so are their relations in various combination (e.g. the nursling's biological brother with the milk-mother's biological daughter). Conversely, the milk-relationship allows usually forbidden familiarities between the two, particularly if the nursling is male and of adult stature, such as viewing the milk-mother unveiled or in private, exactly as if he were a relation.

    Dead Reckoning

    by: Ratt

    You know you're livin' a lie when you just can't win
    Pulling in first prize ain't gonna give you a break
    You know I'm kickin' back, I had a broken wing
    Me and my shadow are the next best thing
    I need someone
    You know it might take more than you give to me
    Are you gun-shy, are you listening?
    What we got here is dead reckoning
    And take me in for the night in the right time zone
    We'll do what you like, make a left turn home
    I put out the light, you're turnin' way too red
    No stop sign straight up ahead
    You need so much
    So much sympathy
    That's more than I can say
    You know it's not too late
    Are you gun-shy, are you listening?
    What we got here is dead reckoning
    And if it feels good, we'll do it again
    See your way clear, dead reckoning
    Tell me why, tell me why
    Are you listening?
    Are you listening?
    Are you listening?
    Are you listening?
    You mean so much
    So much to me
    That's more than I can say
    You know it's not too late
    Are you gun-shy, are you listening?
    What we got here is dead reckoning
    And if it feels good, we'll do it again
    See your way clear, dead reckoning, yeah
    What we got here is dead reckoning
