Interesting. English go is more similar in meaning to Latin eo than to the related Swedish gå and German gehen. Gå and gehen in principle always mean "to walk".
Barbarians. You didn't note my comments about what coffee might have been called by the Romans or that the English verb go has a wider meaning than its cognates in other Germanic languages
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!
Quote from: Lit on June 14, 2013, 01:54:20 PM Well, "go" is interesting because it does have a wider meaning in some languages. I believe regional differences, slang, etc, would account for at least some of that. OTOH, it occurs to me that the Swedish "gå" might be a subset of the original meaning rather than "go" being a superset of it.
What "coffee" would have been called by the Romans holds no interest to me, OTOH.
