Once again, I find it kind of odd (but not rare), how the Germanic-French language English, has roots which don't *always* refer to either of its parents, i.e. French & German.
Like-- the Latinish "miel" / "mielo" and Germanic-ish "Honig." It seems like they don't apply here...?
Seriously, my French has been coming along so well these days that I'm wondering what language I might want to study next. Now obviously it's going to take some time, but what about learning German? (I love the fact that it's the main building-block upon English)

I really like this one. Not sure why, but I'm definitely vibing with Cuthbert right now.

Frank Pé's done some really nice stuff, altho I'm sadly behind on most of it because my French is still pretty weak.
Glad you liked, and I hope to do a decent intro to him one of these days / weeks / months, haha.

Wow, is that so!? Now "Baldwin" by my sources seems to in old West-Germanic: "brave, bold friend," right?
And then, about the second part: [pic]
