Well I did, wanted the git version so uninstalled ncurses to then blissfully install ncurses-git and low and behold my system shat.

Same in Turkish; I think it may be Greek in origin. I used to think that it’s baby-talk, like many other primordial words like ‘mamma’, ‘baba’, etc; but it doesn’t seem to be universal like those.

I think it’s a dependency of readline.

I like ncurses. Never tried to uninstall it, wish more programs used it.
