You mean let go? Could you reveale the real meaning for the non latinists?
Actually I'm a non-Latinist myself. I was referring to Greek.
As z* said, the "first person singular active indicative" (which is the usual lexical form) of the Greek word for 'to say' is lego(λέγω).
So Lego means simultaneously:
1. a brand of toy comprised of a number of components you put together to make something;
2. The Greek for "I say" and
3. Yes, it is also slang for "Let go," however, it would probably more often be spelled with a double 'g' - Leggo
So when I said "Lego - I say actually it's a verb!" I meant Lego is actually the verb "I say."![]()
In my reply to etaoin, λέγω ότι εμόν ωόν-ω is "I say "my egg-o" which is what he asked me to say when he said "Lego my Eggo!"![]()
I could also have said απόλυσω τόν ωόν-ω εμόν (apoluso ton Oon-O emon) which would be "Leggo my eggo"
hee hee this is fun
Oh and just to confuse things even more, we have a brand of pasta sauce here called Leggos.
