Subject: Special expressions

Grew a foot/business, interesting.. I have heard build a business, but
grew one?

Khaki, I wonder if it has any relation, I know the word Khaki is like
from Afghani or India, but ..

On another note, anyone know of any other Germanic lingo lists? I know
of Gothic-L at egroups.com (I think it is still there?).

There are quite a few languages in Afghanistan, but none of it is called
"Afghani."

English 'khaki' < Urdu _{k.}hâki_ 'dust-colored' < _{k.}hâk_ 'dust'

This is a different topic and should be discussed under a separate subject
line.
