Elaiosomes
Elaiosomes are fleshy appendages that are found on many sorts of seeds. No one is quite sure why they evolved. Because ants often carry such seeds back to their nests and eat the elaiosomes, leaving the seed apparently unharmed, one suggestion is that they evolved as a ‘reward’ for ants, encouraging them to disperse the seeds. An alternative proposal is that elaiosomes may help the seed to absorb and retain moisture for germination.
Libanais
Non, le libanais n’est pas un « dialecte arabe» *Traduction par *Emilio El-Dib,* auteur du *Liban expliqué à mes proches. Les Libanais disent « bét » depuis au moins 3200 ans.

Il est insensé de penser qu’une population peut parler une langue, par exemple un cananéen araméisé avec des variantes locales, puis soudainement, *tabula rasa,* passer à une nouvelle langue avec les *mêmes* mots./.../
