Romanian ‘femeie’ (woman) and ‘familie’ (family) are doublets: they both stem from Latin ‘familiam’.
‘Femeie’ was inherited from spoken Latin, undergoing the typically Romanian sound changes – and a pecular meaning shift!
‘Familie’ was borrowed from written Latin.
Number 6 in my series: Romanian!

One of many past watercolour compositions featuring flowers and plants from my garden. There will be new paintings when things start growing. I don't know what happened to the Chinese Lanterns (Physalis). They don't seem to come up now (must try again).

In te reo Māori this would be “E mua kai kai, e muri kai hūare” (“The early ones eat food, the late ones eat spittle”)
A German version of “the early bird catches the worm” translates to “the morning hour has gold in its mouth.” A Czech version is “he who does not laze around, gets the greens.” But my favourite is the French “the first cow to the meadow licks up all the dew” (imo, a vache improvement on the others).

Traditionally, the plants associated with Christmas in the Northern Hemisphere – holly, ivy, mistletoe – are celebrated for their evergreen leaves in winter or their fruits.
But in the Southern Hemisphere, Christmas falls in peak flowering season...

Most of NZ’s flowering plants grow nowhere else – and Christmas falls in peak blooming season
New Zealand has 2,200 native flowering plants and 85% of them grow nowhere else, including some spectacular displays that open just in time for the festive season.

another good one i recently learned about via a Medieval Latin reading is "ransom", from Fr. rançon, < Latin redemptiō(nem), making it a doublet of "redemption"/rédemption
The French word ‘employer’ (to emploi) has the same origin as ‘impliquer’ (to imply).
The former was inherited from Latin, while the latter was borrowed from it later.
They’re called doublets.
Stay tuned for doublets in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Catalan, Galician, Dutch and English.

After the major technical difficulties last time, me and Gabriel Reynolds decided to do another Live Q&A. So, of course, the first thing that happened was that my WiFi died, and then we got audio issues.
After some editing it is now put back online!

My opinion is that when post colonial countries are like no longer studying languages from their colonizers; it should be replaced with studying languages from a neighboring country. Like wtf when the Philippines dropped Spanish we should've been learning Malay and Indigenous Ph languages in schools

Some #ChiefOfWar fanart which has been long overdue. Moses Goods as the father of Ka’ahumanu is incredible, probably my favorite character in the series so far, I love his world-wariness and eloquence!

This was always inevitable given the obvious age skews which is why it was such malpractice by Cameron to have a simple majority vote on leaving.

So, through Cham interaction with Vietnamese, you get “nàng.”
Thus two totally unrelated languages, Thai and Viet, end up with the SAME Sanskrit-derived word for lady. Dayum.
And… like in Viet, both fairy and mermaid start with “naang” in Thai:
🧚 นางฟ้า (naang faa)
🧜♀️ นางเงือก (naang ngeuak)

Enter the Cham people of central Vietnam. Their towers in places like Quy Nhơn (below) look a lot like what you see at Angkor Wat.
That’s because the Cham had a lot of contact with Angkor (Khmer-speaking) civilization, and guess what Old Khmer has?
Yes! It’s another “neang” (នាង)
