Recently I realised that 'bikkje', a #Norwegian word for a dog, is probably related to 'bitch'.
And yes, sure enough, #Wiktionary notes that while the word is currently used for any kind of dog, it used to be used just for female dogs, and is a cognate of #bitch.#TheMoreYouKnow #TodayILearned #TodayILearnt #TIL #bikkje #norsk #etymology #linguistics #language
