Naming adlivun spirits

Adlivun Cavus is a small depression on the southern tip of Sputnik Planitia. It was discovered by the New Horizons spacecraft in 2015.

The name is from the Inuktitut adlivun , "those beneath us", referring to the souls of the departed and by extension to the underworld itself. [2] The name was officially approved by the International Astronomical Union in 2017. [1]

In Inuit religion, Adlivun are the spirits of the departed who reside in the underworld, and by extension the underworld itself, located beneath the land and the sea. The souls are purified there, in preparation for the travel to the Land of the Moon, where they find eternal rest and peace. Sedna, Torngarsuk and the tornat and tupilaq live in Adlivun, which is usually described as a frozen wasteland. Sedna is the ruler of the land, and is said to imprison the souls of the living as part of the preparation for the next stage of their journey.

Çavuş, also anglicized Chaush and Chiaus was an Ottoman title used for two separate soldier professions, both acting as messengers although differing in levels. It was a rank below agha and kethüda, in units such as the Janissaries and Sipahi, and was also a term for members of the specialized unit of çavuşān consisting of combined cavalry and infantry serving the Imperial Council. The leaders of the council's çavuş were titled çavuşbaşı / چاوش باشی. The çavuşbaşı was an assistant to the Grand Vizier, dealing with security matters, accompanying ambassadors visiting the Grand Vizier, and also carried out the first examination of petitions submitted to the council, and led council meetings when the Grand Vizier was not present. The title has its origin in Uyghur use, where it was the title of ambassadors, and then entered Seljuq use for Byzantine imperial messengers, and Persian and Arabic use for various court attendants.

The Heptapyrgion, modern Eptapyrgio, also popularly known by its Ottoman Turkish name Yedi Kule, is a Byzantine and Ottoman-era fortress situated on the north-eastern corner of the Acropolis of Thessaloniki in Greece. Despite its name, which in both languages means "Fortress of Seven Towers", it features ten, and was probably named after the Yedikule Fortress in Constantinople. It served as the major redoubt of the city's acropolis, as well as the seat of its garrison commander in Ottoman times, until the late 19th century. It was then converted to a prison, which remained open until 1989. References to the infamous Yedi Kule prison abound in the Greek rebetika songs. Restoration and archaeological work began in the 1970s and continues to this day.

Manastır Mosque is a former Eastern Orthodox church converted into a mosque by the Ottomans. Neither archeological excavations nor medieval sources have made it possible to find a satisfactory answer as to its original dedication as a church. It is however possible that the small building was part of the Byzantine monastery dedicated to the Holy Martyrs Menodora, Metrodora, and Nymphodora, or an annex of the nunnery of Kyra Martha. The edifice is a minor example of Byzantine architecture in Constantinople, and is important for historical reasons.
