> English isn't actually a language: it's three languages stacked on top of each other To give an example, number words are often covered 3 times in English - one from English (Germanic?) roots, one from Latin roots, and one from Greek roots. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_prefix#Table_of_number... one / uni / mono
two / bi / di
three / ter / tri
four / quad / tetra
Other examples include: A dentist works on your teeth, a canine is a dog, the meat from a cow is beef, a foreword is a preface. |
