Latin Word of the Week (October 15, 2008):
Pecunia, pecuniae
money, wealth
Money makes the world go round! In the ancient world that meant cattle. The root of the Latin word for money is pecus, meaning livestock or flock.
Animals were at the center of ancient economies. So it makes sense that the Romans related wealth to flocks of sheep and cattle.
In countries where there were no true coins various other things have served as a standard of value. In the Hudson's Bay Territory beavers skins have long been used in this manner. In ancient Eruope cattle were the usual medium of exchange, whence the Latin word pecunia (money, from pecus, cattle).

And you people should not say to a person who presented to you peace-salutation: "You are not a believer", in consideration of apparent-immediate worldly gain.
Therefore, remember that plenteous gains are by the Grace of Allah the Exalted.
Likewise were you formerly; thereby, Allah the Exalted conferred beneficence/indebtedness upon you. Therefore, you people self discriminate and distinguish.
Undoubtedly, Allah the Exalted is always aware of the acts you people perform. [4:94]
