<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">According
to Pokorny, <i>ac</i> etc. goes back to Indo-European *<i>aĝ-</i> 'to move',
'to swing', 'to drive', 'to lead'. Sounds weird, doesn't it? What is supposed
to be the semantic connection?</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">From 'to move', 'to swing' to 'but'? That's a very clear
connection! When you say something, and then you 'but' and say something partly
opposite, then you 'swing', in a figurative way... You're very beautiful,
but... <br>

"But moving on ...". Is Russian "a" also cognate with this?<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Oh, don't you also wish you could go back in time and listen to old
languages as they were spoken? <br>
<br>
Ron, perhaps <em><span style="font-family: Arial;">ac</span></em> and <em><span style="font-family: Arial;">move/swing/lead</span></em> was more of
a mental connector from a thought to an activity which
only later developed into the semantic one as we know it today?<br>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">I came across a new word this morning which was 'snob' used
to mean a cobbler / shoemaker.</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">I had never heard it before used like this. Does it have any
