But what does it matter. Can't we have just one Abenaki loanword in exchange for all the mish mash words that crossed the big water? I like moose. I think it is a moose animal, moose the magnificent.(of course it is up to the British ) Top Page 3 of 3 < 1 2 3 Previous Topic Index Next Topic Preview Hop to: General Topics ------   Information and announcements   Q&A about words   Wordplay and fun   Words and languages in schools   Miscellany   Weekly Themes   Looking for (writers, speakers, ...)
