"We are experiencing a shift whose magnitude we have not yet fully grasped... Iran finds itself in a position of strength... Donald Trump is actively destroying all the alliances built after the war... The whole world must understand that the United States is already, to a large extent, a dictatorship...
"Europe must support democracy in the United States, and that requires abandoning any strategy aimed at appeasing Trump. It does not work."

'Segundo José Pedro Machado (Dicionário Onomástico Etimológico da Língua Portuguesa), o nome latino Ebora deve ter origem céltica, pois relaciona-se com a palavra irlandesa "ibhar" e a gaulesa "eburos", que significam «teixo», «[...]árvore totémica que servia para envenenar setas».
Assim, Ebora pode estar ligada a outras cidades europeias que remontam ao nome dessa árvore em céltico: Iorque (Eburacum), em Inglaterra, e Évreux (Ebroicorum ciuitas).'

Interesting to see Jórvík "boar-town" is derived from Anglo-Saxon folk etymology: «In the Celtic languages the name Eborākon developed on its own, and produced the Welsh Efrog or Caer Efrog (caer = 'fortified city'), Irish Eabhrac, and Gaelic Eabhraig».
