Tips

culture

Two unrelated meanings sharing the transliteration: (1) Erik Satie (1866-1925), the eccentric French composer of the dreamy Gymnopédies and Gnossiennes — a touchstone for ambient music. (2) Sati, the Hindu goddess whose self-immolation gave its name to the now-banned practice of widow burning. Context disambiguates fully.
