I never noticed that It is referred to as a cabalito - I would have thought it would be cabalita. @cmartinez ruling please.

 

My all-time favorite representation of Liberty on US coins. Designed by John Reich.

If one's talking about the horse, it's a caballito (small horse), but the rider is called a jinete

 

Odd, for someone who is supposed to ride a horse very skillfully, Ive never tried it but riding side saddle seems very awkward.
The oldest coin I have is dated 1795 issued as payment token to workers on the Thames and Severn Canal, England.

Last one (for now). Looks like an ordinary dime. Most people think that today, there are only mints at Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco. But there is a fourth mint at West Point and that is where this dime was made (see the 'W' mark). They have not used the mint mark for any circulation strikes (these dimes were in special mint sets). But, in 2019, they will have circulating quarters with the 'W', I have not received one yet though.

Is it a diminutive form? n/m you already said little. What if it is a mare? Still an o ending?

The -ito -ita terminations are normally the diminutive suffixes to a word.

The Spanish word for mare is Yegua. It's diminutive form would be Yegüita.

Interesting spelling, ain't it?

 

Came across this today. Wow, I don't even know what camera I used, probably my old point and shoot as that was what I had.

EDIT to add, the picture is of HP herself! Not the actress of her avatar! Sry for my ambiguous ramblings

When the subject is ultimate beauty, pose and photographic talent are irrelevant!
As anyone with eyes can see, this most causal shot captures the absolute physical and spiritual beauty of the subject to the full extent that such extreme beauty can be captured!

To the subject, my dearest friend @Hypatia's Protege, you know that I'd never jeopardize your privacy! O/C you know it's impossible for the pic to be in the cloud! But I took the precaution of putting it through every paid and gratis image search app on the web to make certain there are no hits on "similar images". None even come close!

My dearest friend, I know your modesty won't let you "thank" me for this so you know this is no attempt at ingratiation!

BTW I'm sorry if I mislabeled the setting!? @Aleph(0) thinks it's the new Dayton location but for my money it has to be Touhy's Yesteryear show?

That actress has always reminded me of my own wife... only that my wife is prettier...

Who is she?

'Taint no actress! That be the one and only, bona fide HP as she lives and breathes!

only that my wife is prettier...

That's fightin' talk but I'm cool with family loyalty Anyway it is said "beauty is altogether in the eye of the beholder"!

Who is she?

It's none other than @Hypatia's Protege! I thought that much was clear from my post I guess HP's right! I've been in school so long I'm becoming illiterate

I believed she was an actress as per the cmartinez post. That's where my doubt came from. Sorry.

HP (and Aleph too) chose avatars that resemble them! I guess @cmartinez mistook the pic of HP for the actress in her avatar! Looking back on my text I can see room for ambiguity

No sweat!

well I'll be... she looks like Rebecca Hall's twin sister!

​

If that picture you posted is indeed HP, then I'm glad for her. She was given both gifts of beauty and intelligence... but so was my wife!

In hairstyle, maybe? really though, I don't see much of a resemblance? FWIW HP's been compared with Virginia North ("Vulnavia") Never Rebecka Hall to my knowledge.

If that picture you posted is indeed HP

It's HP alright!

She was given both gifts of beauty and intelligence...

And most of all beauty of soul!

but so was my wife!

In all sincerity, I wouldn't doubt it for a second!
