Synchysi (σύγχυση) means "confusion" in the modern Greek language.
Looked it up in my dictionary. |
Apparently there is a weird anglo-saxon school of Greek transcription. σύγχυση is pronounced "Sýngchysé" (the "ch" is an aspirated guttural which does not exist in the English language).
σύγχυση does indeed mean hecticness or bustle, and might be translated with confusion or even chaos in this regard. But if someone wants to say chaos in Greek normally, he uses the same word: χάος.

Gaara is my favorite anime character from the anime, Naruto. Cold-hearted and vicious, just like how I am in real life.
The avatar is of Orochimaru from the Naruto anime as well. He's the main villain.
Signature? Haven't found a good one yet. |

Nick: Already explained it on the other thread. Long story short, a refference to The Vision of Escaflowne.
Avatar: Just a silly tablet-made picture of me and Leo, Falena's national pet, with the OMGWTFBBQ text across, just because it fits.
Signature: The Superman logo and the text are a sign of respect for Christopher Reeve, may he rest in peace.
And the animated banner is something i made for Falena a while ago, and only now managed to reduce the filesize down to a not so terrible size (having to make it smaller in the process...). If it causes problems to anyone in one way or another, please let me know and i'll remove it. And if it doesn't, all Falenians feel free to use it (link included). If you want, of course =P _________________

Synchysi is Greek for chaos, which was my old monicker, etc. It's all in the other thread. |
Why do you think that? χάος itself is Greek, and I never heard of συνχυσι. |
Well, a very rough translation, I should say. I guess I'm using the same Dictionary as SARSadmin. When I looked up 'chaos' in the dictionary, it did give me 'χάος', but most places don't accept those special characters and the romanized translation it gave me was 'chaos', so I started looking up synonyms. 'Confusion' brought up 'σύγχυση', which, according to the site, is 'synchysi' when romanized. _________________

Username: I explained this in the other thread, but long story short, I made up the name Diaz a long time ago and I thought it sounded cool so it gre on me. Then later I started writing this book (only 50 pages so far) and I added the last name Riou, making it Diaz Riou (Riou has nothing to do with the Suikoden 2 main character, just a coincidence). Here though I just have Diaz.
Avatar: I change my avatar a LOT. I just go searching for a good looking avatar (perferably death-inspiring) and when I find a good one I just switch. My current one is just an avatar I found that I though went good with my personality.
Signature: I change this every now-and-then, but not nearly as much as my avatar. Whenever I think of something that sounds good I just put it in. _________________

I would be more than happy to help you out if you want, just send a picture over to my profile email address and I can re-size and host it for you (although I'm sure Black Fang is more than capable of helping you with this) :wink: _________________
