Linguistics discussion (split from new factions thread)

[Viking_Wårlord]

For what's of military terms....here we go:

war>crīgā(gave german 'krieg' and danish 'krig')
fight>skermō(gave the word 'skirmish')
die>dhewə (gave Deyja(old norse))
kill>colḗjō (nothing to explain here)
destroy>dheukō (here neither...)

I also may remind that, there was no 'proto-indo european' as a single dialect but many languages composed this 'proto-indi-european language' hence some words gave latin,others gave slavic,baltic,germanic and so on...

When did this become The Linguistics Thread?

Right now !

Ha, the mods obey my suggestions as law. As is their duty.

Fascinating. I add:

war>crīgā(gave german 'krieg' and danish 'krig')
(gave -possibly- 'cri' and 'crier', French "shout", noun and verb)
fight>skermō(gave the word 'skirmish')
die>dhewə (gave Deyja(old norse))
(and this word Deyja -possibly- gave 'déjà', French "already")
kill>colḗjō (nothing to explain here)
(gave -possibly- colère, French "anger")
destroy>dheukō (here neither...)
(gave -possibly- dragon, if you pronounce the "h" like in German)
