    which also developed into Dari گاو [gau] and Persian گاو [gov]:

    🔊 ancientsounds.net/eastern-orig

    and very many other Indo-European languages, such as Ancient Greek βοῦς [bous]:

  8. Hello English-speaking #filmfans and cineasts in the #fediverse. I could need some #mastohelp.

    Is there something like a widely accepted and known abbreviation for the expression "original version/track with (English) subtitles" in #English? (I am thinking about a similar short form, like the German #OmU for "Original mit Untertiteln").

    Asking for a friend. ;) All hints are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
