Werewolf is a contraction of the Anglo-Saxon word 'were'--which means man--and wolf; 'werewolf, man wolf.

Source: I watched Prisoner of Azkaban last night.

Warehouse, on the other hand, is literally a “house of wares”.

Is it really a contraction if it's just two words stuck together? Pretty sure a contraction is shortened.

Those are Snape’s words, not mine. I suppose the proper term is Compound.

The apparent scale is terrible because of the boxes and roll up door, but there is a human sized door and stairwell on the right for a warehouse that would make it far larger than the house.

A "werage", if you will. 🧐

Werewolves turns from human to werewolf when there's a full moon.

The house turned into a warehouse.

Jay@sh.itjust.works · 16 pts · 3y

That makes more sense than: House, moon, oh no house, garage.

Is this loss?

StarkillerX42@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 3y

Apparently the house turns to a warehouse in a full moon. Took me forever to figure out because I kept trying to figure out how it relates to Loss.
