<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm looking for information on the development of
these particular words from their common Latin source. I'd like to
explore if there are any factors that would shed some light on how/why they've
developed differently.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>French tenir = 'to hold'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Spanish tener = 'to have'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Port. ter = 'to have (both possesion and
auxilliary)'</FONT></DIV>
