      See {Reverent}.]
      1. Profound respect and esteem mingled with fear and
            affection, as for a holy being or place; the disposition
            to revere; veneration.
  
                     If thou be poor, farewell thy reverence. --Chaucer.
  
                     Reverence, which is the synthesis of love and fear.
                                                                              --Coleridge.
  
                     When discords, and quarrels, and factions, are
                     carried openly and audaciously, it is a sign the
                     reverence of government islost.         --Bacon.
  
      Note: Formerly, as in Chaucer, reverence denoted
               [bd]respect[b8] [bd]honor[b8], without awe or fear.
  
      2. The act of revering; a token of respect or veneration; an
            obeisance.
  
                     Make twenty reverences upon receiving . . . about

      4. A person entitled to be revered; -- a title applied to
            priests or other ministers with the pronouns his or your;
            sometimes poetically to a father. --Shak.

      Syn: Awe; honor; veneration; adoration; dread.
  
      Usage: {Awe}, {Reverence}, {Dread}, {Veneration}. Reverence
                  is a strong sentiment of respect and esteem, sometimes
                  mingled slightly with fear; as, reverence for the
                  divine law. Awe is a mixed feeling of sublimity and
                  dread in view of something great or terrible, sublime
                  or sacred; as, awe at the divine presence. It does not
                  necessarily imply love. Dread is an anxious fear in
                  view of an impending evil; as, dread of punishment.
                  Veneration is reverence in its strongest
                  manifestations. It is the highest emotion we can
                  exercise toward human beings. Exalted and noble
                  objects produce reverence; terrific and threatening
                  objects awaken dread; a sense of the divine presence
                  fills us with awe; a union of wisdom and virtue in one
                  who is advanced in years inspires us with veneration.

      1. (Bot.)
            (a) One of the minute grains in flowerless plants, which
                  are analogous to seeds, as serving to reproduce the
                  species.
  
      Note: Spores are produced differently in the different
               classes of cryptogamous plants, and as regards their
               nature are often so unlike that they have only their
               minuteness in common. The peculiar spores of diatoms
               (called auxospores) increase in size, and at length
               acquire a siliceous coating, thus becoming new diatoms
               of full size. Compare {Macrospore}, {Microspore},

                  bacteria, etc.
            (b) One of the parts formed by fission in certain
                  Protozoa. See {Spore formation}, belw.
  
      {Spore formation}.
            (a) (Biol) A mode of reproduction resembling multitude

                  which eventually develops into an organism like the

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   superprogrammer n.   A prolific programmer; one who can code
   exceedingly well and quickly.   Not all hackers are superprogrammers,
   but many are.   (Productivity can vary from one programmer to another
   by three orders of magnitude.   For example, one programmer might be
   able to write an average of 3 lines of working code in one day,
   while another, with the proper tools, might be able to write 3,000.
   This range is astonishing; it is matched in very few other areas of
   human endeavor.)   The term `superprogrammer' is more commonly used
   within such places as IBM than in the hacker community.   It tends to
   stress naive measures of productivity and to underweight creativity,
   ingenuity, and getting the job _done_ -- and to sidestep the
   question of whether the 3,000 lines of code do more or less useful
   work than three lines that do the {Right Thing}.   Hackers tend to
   prefer the terms {hacker} and {wizard}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sepharvaim
      taken by Sargon, king of Assyria (2 Kings 17:24; 18:34; 19:13;
      Isa. 37:13). It was a double city, and received the common name
      Sepharvaim, i.e., "the two Sipparas," or "the two booktowns."
      The Sippara on the east bank of the Euphrates is now called
      Abu-Habba; that on the other bank was Accad, the old capital of
      Sargon I., where he established a great library. (See {SARGON}.) The recent discovery of cuneiform inscriptions at
      Tel el-Amarna in Egypt, consisting of official despatches to
      Pharaoh Amenophis IV. and his predecessor from their agents in
      Palestine, proves that in the century before the Exodus an
      active literary intercourse was carried on between these
      nations, and that the medium of the correspondence was the
      Babylonian language and script. (See KIRJATH-{SEPHER}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Suburbs
      the immediate vicinity of a city or town (Num. 35:3, 7; Ezek.
      45:2). In 2 Kings 23:11 the Hebrew word there used (parvarim)
      occurs nowhere else. The Revised Version renders it "precincts."
      The singular form of this Hebrew word (parvar) is supposed by
      some to be the same as Parbar (q.v.), which occurs twice in 1
      Chr. 26:18.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Sepharvaim, the two books; the two scribes
