      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]

        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)
