is-land :something resembling an island, esp. in being isolated or having little or no direct communication with others.
Was just wondering today the beauty of word "Island" ; Island refers to isolated land with no direct communication with others, the 's' being silent in this. If we remove 's' from Island and it becomes 'I-land', the way it is pronounced.
Isnt the scene same, when I live in my own land ? Not caring about any one else's emotions. At that very moment, I am 'I' and am away, isolated from rest of the world. Totally cutoff from rest of the lands aka people.
Very rightly is the land pronounced "I(s)land", ie not connected with the rest of the lands.
