<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">re the discussion about Nachmahd / Nahmadd</p>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font size="2">In English we have 'Aftermath' with the same
meaning = ' a second cutting of grass' . However I doubt whether the
majority of English speakers know this original meaning; rather they
use it to descriobe the results of any action. e.g. " In the aftermath
of 7/11 security was tightened throughout the county."</font></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Â </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font size="2">My question is: why do you have ' Nach-' and not
'Efter- when both English and Lowland languages seem to have retained
the '-math' bit.</font></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Â </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font size="2">[One of the things I like about this forum is it
makes you look up word origins you have never thought about. I have
just looked up 'after' and discovered that it has as relatives O Fris
efter OS / OHG aftar Du achter Gothic aftra etc etc back to PIE.]</font></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Â </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font size="2">So next question is - where does 'nach' come from? And when?</font></div>
