is one of the cases where English is richer than Afrikaans in an
ancient survival. Mind you, we have kept 'woon' & its cognates in
all the other Lowlands languages including the Anglo Saxon &
Modern English hasn't.</div> <div> </div> <div align="left"><font size="2">Yrs,</font></div> <div align="left"><font size="2">Mark<br></font></div></blockquote> <div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">We
haven't completely lost it, though it's pretty rare now. The word
"wont" as in " He was wont to visit the pub on Sundays" actually comes
from <em>wunian</em>; it now means "accustomed to" or "in the habit
of", but it earlier meant specifically "accustomed to a place". I had
an uncle who, on moving to a new house after decades in an ancient
terrace house, said was "gettin' wunted" to the new one.</div><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;" class="sg"> <div> </div> <div>Paul</div></span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
