I mean, there's definitely a danger in being too comfortable---every term, there was at least one person who at week six realized that no, the cognates were not going to power them through after all, and that's a terrible moment

story I heard was D saying "look, it's only a few lines [of the famous festal letter]" and Bentley giving whatever his generation's equivalent of the Gen Z stare would be, then D going somewhere to learn Armenian

I don't know that I had the strength for it---gotta respect a language that is somehow more agglutinative than German---but I did know enough at one point to legitimately read and translate that one paragraph of Ps-Aelius Theon
