Footnotes

  1. ^

    Many languages borrow the Latin concretus for the adjective meaning "tangible, not abstract", but mostly only English uses it for the building material. Most other Latin-borrowing languages derive the word for the building material from Latin bitūmen (mineral pitch, bitumen) instead. Latin did not have a word for "concrete" distinct from "cement".

  2. ^

    Persephone is called the Maiden, in relation to Demeter, the Earth Mother". Ceres, in the interpretatio graeca, considered analogous Demeter.
