OP homonyms? almost homonyms? or related words?
i stumbled across konops (greek (old greek)) for mosquito.. and discoved that a canopy is from the word for mosquito netting.. (OK, that works for me..) and canapé is related!
its not clear if the canapé is called that because the light topping to the bread or cracker is like a light curtain. or if because the bread is like the bed that the canopy covers.. but either way..
dontcha just love it when you find a fun connection like that?
