140 Siwa
Siwa (minor planet designation: 140 Siwa) is a large and dark main-belt asteroid that was discovered by Austrian astronomer Johann Palisa on October 13, 1874, and named after Živa (Šiwa), a Slavic goddess of fertility. The ''Rosetta'' comet probe was to visit Siwa on its way to comet 46P/Wirtanen in July, 2008. However, the mission was rerouted to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and the flyby had to be abandoned. Attempts to measure the rotation period of this asteroid have produced inconsistent results ranging from 14.7 to 32 hours. Photometric observations of this asteroid at the Organ Mesa Observatory in Las Cruces, New Mexico during 2010 gave an irregular light curve with a period of 34.407 ± 0.002 hours and a brightness variation of 0.05 ± 0.01 in magnitude. A 2004 study of the spectrum matched a typical C-type asteroid with typical carbonaceous chondrite makeup. There are no absorption features of mafic minerals found. The classification was later revised to a P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Živa (mythology)
Živa, Zhiva (Latin ''Siwa'') is a goddess of the Obodritic tribe of the Polabian Slavs. The goddess so appears only in the ''Chronicle'' of Helmold of Bozov. He described the strengthening of the pagan cult during the reign of Niklot: In the original name is spelled as ''Siwa'' (Copenhagen copy), in later manuscripts as ''Siwe'' (Lübeck), ''Silue'' (Vienna), ''Synna'' (Szczecin). The Copenhagen, Lübeck and Szczecin manuscripts indicate that the name contained the grapheme ''w'' (''v''); the Szczecin notation (''Synna'') was created as a result of frequent ''u'' → ''n'' replacement and reflected the form ''*Syuua'', while the double ''u'' = ''w'', which indicates the original form ''*Sywa'' (''*Syva''). The Viennese transcript is the most distorted in relation to the original. Scholars agree on the etymology of this theonym. It is read as the Slavic feminine adjective ''*Živa'' "Alive, Live, Living". ''Živa'' is also a personal name attested in several Slavic languages, ...

Siwa Language
Siwi (also known as Siwan or Siwa Berber; native name: ''Jlan n isiwan'') is the easternmost Berber language, spoken in the western Egyptian desert by an estimated 15,000''Grammatical Contact in the Sahara: Arabic, Berber, and Songhay in Tabelbala and Siwa'', Lameen Souag, PhD thesis, SOAS, 2010 to 20,000 people in the oases of Siwa and Gara, near the Libyan border. Siwi is the normal language of daily communication among the Egyptian Berbers of Siwa and Gara, but because it is not taught at local schools, used in the media nor recognised by the Egyptian government, its long-term survival may be threatened by contacts with outsiders and by the use of Egyptian Arabic in mixed marriages; nearly all Siwis today learn to speak Egyptian Arabic as a second language from an early age. Siwi has been heavily influenced by Arabic, notably Egyptian and Bedouin, but also earlier stages of Arabic.
