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
