Reply to comment by KingRaffles in TIL Tolkien assisted on the Oxford Dictionary's first edition, focused on 'W' words waggle to warlock. He "learned more in those two years than in any other"; and certain etymologies continued to puzzle him for years, with many pages of notes written later on 'walrus' for a lecture at Leeds by PianoCharged
My God, I love that show!

Yeah, I have had a weird crossover too from Korean and German. Oma in German meaning Grandmother and something exceedingly similar in Korean mean mother. Same with Grandfather. And even Abba in Hebrew having a similar sound to Appa in Korean with the same meaning.

Well, wouldn't it make more sense that modern Spanish has words from Arabic in it because of the Moorish Conquests and vice versa? Also, Spanish still has a heavy Latin influence and Arabs would have interacted with Latin speakers way back.
Or is that your point?

Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] You are a budget mage. While most of your colleagues use costly ingredients, rituals that take weeks to prepare and use a new spell for every problem, you only know a few spells, use common household ingredients and prepare rituals within minutes. They unjustly deride your work as shoddy. by Kitty_Fuchs
I thought this meant a mage that specializes in budgets.
