and milk" my thoughts meandered to the Dutch word "biest" (the first milk that
the cow gives after the calf is born. It is full of extra goodies so that the
young one has a good chance of survival) My etymological dictionary gives the
following derivations MD "Biest" Old-Saxon and Old-High German "biost" and Old-English
"beast". and is not shown to be related to Modern D "Beest", English "Beast" Is
the "bios" part here from Greek?</span></font></p>
