Gáb
The cuneiform sign gáb, (also qáb), is an uncommon-use sign of the Amarna letters, and other cuneiform texts. It is possibly an equivalent sign for the later version of DAGAL (extensive Sumerogram), , with '' an'', , replacing the earlier version, the "star" (as Dingir), contained within the cuneiform sign. This later version of ''DAGAL'' is somewhat similar to ''gáb'', (a 'rectangular-box form'). The meaning of "DAGAL", Akkadian language for "extensive" – compares to the Amarna letters use of ''gáb'' as Akkadian language "gabbu", English language for "all", or "all (of us)" For Rainey's version of EA letters 359–379 (only 10 actual letters) ''gáb'' is only used to spell Akkadian "gabbu", and 2 words using ''qáb'', mostly for Akkadian "qabû", English "to speak", and in EA 259 (the ''" King of Battle, Tablet I"''), for "battle", Akkadian ''"qablu"''. Cuneiform ''gáb''/''qáb'' is mostly used as a syllabic for the three characters of the sign. It is within a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gab (social Network)
Gab is an American alt-tech microblogging and social networking service known for its far-right userbase. Widely described as a haven for neo-Nazis, racists, white supremacists, white nationalists, antisemites, the alt-right, supporters of Donald Trump, conservatives, right-libertarians, and believers in conspiracy theories such as QAnon, Gab has attracted users and groups who have been banned from other social media platforms and users seeking alternatives to mainstream social media platforms.

Gab (song)
A ''gab'' or ''gap'' (, "boast") is a troubadour boasting song. It is often considered related to the ''tenso'' and ''partimen'', two types of debate poem. Sometimes the ''gab'' is not considered a separate genre of poetry but simply a boast found within another genre, commonly the ''sirventes''.Veronica M. Fraser (2006), ''The Songs of Peire Vidal: Translation and Commentary'' (New York: Peter Lang, ), 153. The Occitan word ''gab'' means "boast" and comes from the verb ''gabar'' (to open the mouth wide, i.e. gape). The song is innately competitive and the boast is often presented as a challenge, which may generate poetical responses. The boasting, however, is made in good fun and typically follows a formula ensuring it will be well-received (unlike a real boast). Often it is heavily ironic, and the boasts are intended specifically to entertain the audience that knows better. The first ''gab'' was "Ben vuelh", composed by William IX of Aquitaine (died 1126).Don A. Monson (1999), ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Georgia Academy For The Blind
Georgia Academy for the Blind (GAB) is a state-operated public school for the blind in Macon, Georgia. The Georgia Department of Education operates the school. History Thomas Ridgeway, a former professor and an alumnus of the school, stated that the folklore is that a mother in the Macon area made efforts to establish the school after her daughter survived an epidemic. In 1851 a group of Georgians petitioned the legislature to have the school established. The Georgia Legislature spent $5,000 to establish the school, which opened in 1852. In the era of de jure educational segregation in the United States, GAB separated its white students from its black students. The school racially integrated circa 1965. In 1990 there was a study headed by two employees of Gallaudet University that concluded that the Georgia Department of Education should do more to ensure more children were placed at Georgia Academy for the Blind and at the two other state schools for disabled children, Georgi ...
