Talk:Cunégonde

Untitled
I'm sceptical about the derivations of her name. Another small possibility is to be found in Sophocles' Electra 563 (which I've just read, hence this posting), where Artemis/Diana is referred to by the epithet kynagon, the Doric (and accusative) form of kynegos, meaning, literally (hunting)dog-driving. This would make Cunégonde Candide's virgin huntress. But I haven't read Candide for more than 20 years, so I don't know how apt that would be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.158.148.252 (talk) 12:36, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * In any case, why does the opening statement assert probable link to Cunigunde if most experts (according to the article) disagree? 23:47, 28 February 2013 (UTC)149.31.142.10 (talk)

As a side note, here's an piece of original research... Cunegonde means "big assed" in Farsi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.65.89.57 (talk) 17:31, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
