On July 13th a country celebrated its independance: Crna Gora (Црна Гора) is a country known in English as #Montenegro. But what these names mean? The name Crna Gora means “Black Mountain” and it used in other Slavic languages with small variations. Montenegro is a Romance-language calque of the same idea: it comes from Venetian and then spread into other languages. In English, the meaning isn’t obvious from the form, but in Spanish it is.

While Romance and Baltic languages often differ, they share the Proto-Indo-European root *wósr̥, meaning “#spring” and originally “becoming #warmer.” For example, the Portuguese “verão” and Latvian “vasara” derive from this root. Similarly, the German “Sommer” and Kurdish “havîn,” despite their different appearances, both stem from the Proto-Indo-European root *semh₂-, meaning “summer” or “half of the #year.” #etymology #etymologymap #map #laguagemap #linguisticmap -

The English word cow is related to other Germanic words: Icelandic kýr and Swedish ko. These words are also connected to a surprising group of words across other Indo‑European branches thought to derive from a common Proto‑Indo‑European root, *gʷṓws, for example Irish bó, Latvian govs, and Armenian կով (kov).

Last map has ants in its pants
#insects #map #mapologies #etymology #etymologymap #ant #ants #languagemap
Most European languages are united by a common thread: the word for ant. From the Galician formiga to the Romanian furnică, and from Greek μυρμήγκι (myrmígki) to Finnish muurahainen. Surprising, huh? We can find the traces of a single Proto-Indo-European ancestor: *mórwis.

#Dill is an herb originated in North Africa, Iran, and the Arabian Peninsula. The name in these regions is Semitic, such as Arabic شبت (šibitt) and Azerbaijani şüyüd. In Europe the plant’s name falls into three main groups. The first group is Germanic-derived, giving English, German and Swedish "dill". This root also appears in some non‑Germanic languages, for example Latvian dilles.
