I spotted this watercraft while out on the Iowa River yesterday.
Today as I log this one, I see the name of Eau Neumann. Ok I understand the Neumann part as she has like 4 degrees and a masters degree or 2 or 3. But me with one degree had to use google to see what the eff eau meant.
The aim of the EAU Guidelines is to assist practicing clinicians in making informed decisions in a given circumstance; taking the highest quality scientific data, their patient's personal circumstances, values and preferences into account.
- That's not it!
Eau defined by Merriam-Webster:
: a watery solution (as of perfume) especially : a liqueur of moderate density and sweetness.
- Perhaps!
Eau, pronounced /o/, comes from Latin aqua, but obviously lost its central consonants (pronounced /kw/) as well as reducing to a single vowel. The intermediate Old French form eue shows the consonant loss but not yet the vowel simplification.
- oui oui and a croissant (all the french I know until now)
Anyway....I'm discovering!
