[edit] Religious belief?
Could someone explain when/where/what kind of people believe this or Fact or merely belief, is this related to religion like Chischanity? -- Taku 23:13 Mar 6, 2003 (UTC)
- I have no idea about the biblical note, so I had at first left it as it was. I've now rephrased what the note seemed to say (hopefully) more clearly. I am not a student of the bible (or even a Christian), so if someone who knows what they're talking about would elaborate how this conclusion was arrived at and why it's considered significant, that would be great.

[edit] Tea
The anise plant is also used as a tea in Mexico. It is referred to as hierba anis.
[edit] names
"Anise or Aniseed, less commonly anís (stressed on the first syllable)"
does the comment in brackets refer to only the last name — why is it accented on the second syllable if stressed on the first? I pronounce both anise and aniseed with a stress on the first syllable. Njál 08:51, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
- Stressing does not necessarily require an accent. In fact, the accent is on the third letter, so anis pronunced "a-nees" or "a-niz" Monkeyspearfish 10:26, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dogs and anise
Do dogs have a liking for anise, as I have heard several times? Monkeyspearfish 10:26, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
