Boy Scout Godollo Sculptor Lorinc Siklody
A boy is a young male human. The term is commonly used for a child or an adolescent. When a male human reaches adulthood, he is usually described as a man. Definition, etymology, and use According to the ''Merriam-Webster Dictionary'', a boy is "a male child from birth to adulthood". The word "boy" comes from Middle English ''boi, boye'' ("boy, servant"), related to other Germanic words for ''boy'', namely East Frisian ''boi'' ("boy, young man") and West Frisian ''boai'' ("boy"). Although the exact etymology is obscure, the English and Frisian forms probably derive from an earlier Anglo-Frisian *''bō-ja'' ("little brother"), a diminutive of the Germanic root *''bō-'' ("brother, male relation"), from Proto-Indo-European *''bhā-'', *''bhāt-'' ("father, brother"). The root is also found in Norwegian dialectal ''boa'' ("brother"), and, through a reduplicated variant *''bō-bō-'', in Old Norse ''bófi'', Dutch ''boef'' "(criminal) knave, rogue", German ''Bube'' ("knave, r ...

Hungarian Mythology

In Hungarian myth, the world is divided into three spheres: the first is the Upper World (''Felső világ''), the home of the gods; the second is the Middle World (''Középső világ'') or world we know, and finally the ...

White Stag
A white stag (or white hind for the female) is a white-colored red deer, elk, sika deer, chital, reindeer, or moose. A white deer from species such as fallow deer, roe deer, white-tailed deer, black-tailed deer, or rusa, is instead referred to as a “white buck” or “white doe”. The all-white coloration is the result of leucism, a condition that causes hair and skin to lose its natural pigmentation. The white deer has played a prominent role in the mythology of many cultures. Biology Leucism is a rare genetic pattern that causes a reduction in the pigment of an animal's hair and skin. The natural colour of the red deer ranges from dark red to brown. They are often thought to be albinos; however, unlike albinos, who have characteristically red eyes, deer with leucism have normal colouring in their eyes. It is distinguished biologically from albinism in that it causes a reduced pigmentation in all skin types, and not just melanin. There is also a black color morph of the wh ...
