And I just noticed that apparently Dutch is the only
Germanic/W.European language that does not use the latin word "muscle"
but "spier". Anyone knows other Germanic languages that use a more

retains the word "brawn," of germanic origin, I think. It seems to me
that brawn is less used in American English than when I was a child.</span></font></p>
