[SCA-AS] Huzzah/Vivat?

[Elyse Boucher]

Northshield uses vivant/vivat in court (the first
Prince by right of arms was nurtured in Atlantia) and
skol in the feast hall (owing to the large number of
people who are modernly of Scandinavian descent
(Norwegian, myself) in the kingdom).

The Middle uses "Hoobah!"--stems from the days of
yore, when a couple of venerable and ancient Dukes
were trying to encourage some budding belly dancers
with shouts of "hubba, hubba!" It just sort of morphed
from there, but I can not tell you how, for the
transformation from one to the other was complete by
the time I arrived in the Midrealm. To the best of my
knowledge, none of the sons of the Dragon (Calontir,
Ealdomere, Northshield) use Hoobah.

IIRC, Huzzah is primarily used in the Kingdoms to the
west of us. Don't quote me, though. Based on this, my
*guess* as to the origin of the split comes from the
simple fact that the East wanted something different
from the West, and the Middle went its own oddball
way, leaving the kingdoms who would eventually split
off from the first 3 to choose their own paths.

Yours, Merouda Pendray
