This page is an exact copy of the entry from answers. com. Flagged. [(http://www.answers.com/topic/jugurtha) link]--CaesarGJ 00:15, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is answers.com that includes Wikipedia articles, as clearly stated in that page.--Panairjdde 14:36, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article claims that Jugurtha died both in 104BC (Intro) and in 106BC (War with Rome section). This seems improbable.

Name

[edit]

I've removed this

"The name Jugurthen is actually a Libyan name and phrase meaning: (he) is greater than them[citation needed]."

after it had been tagged for almost a year. The contributor who had originally inserted it seems to have some kind of affinity to Berber topics and might have some form of basis for his claim. I am sure most readers would find it very interesting to read about an etymology for the name. However, unless such an etymology is sourced from a scholarly article, it smells strongly of home-style cooking. Trigaranus (talk) 05:44, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The etymology of Jugurtha's name was probably taken from this article: http://encyclopedieberbere.revues.org/1377. "y-ugur-ten (ou y-uger-ten) = il-dépasse-les = « il les dépasse », du verbe ager/uger-ugar « dépasser, être de reste », parfaitement vivant dans les dialectes berbères actuels (kabyle, touareg, Maroc...)." I would edit the article myself but I am new to wikipedia. --Yiften (talk) 13:21, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is his name the origin of the word Yoghurt ?

[edit]

I know that lben, cheeses and other lactated products are very popular traditional products in Algeria and Tunisia. Could it be that Jugurtha (J pronounced Y in latin) was the one that introduced the rest of the world to yoghurts ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asmodim (talkcontribs) 10:31, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
