Ah, you freakin' genius! This is some really good brain cheese here. Has me firing on all cylinders thinking about rooting out etymology of terminologies. I love dialects, as I said up there. It's like staring at the soul of a people. But there's a huge depth in following the word from it's current state down through it's lineage. You'll surely see a lot of colonization as you head down the rabbit hole. I unfortunately don't even speak English right, so other languages. Eh. I always figured that's the terror of the ADHD side coming in. That difficulty of translating something short term -> long term. Best I can say in this camp is when I listen to the dialogue in movies, or the lyrics in songs - I like to break down what I am hearing. It might be hard for me to understand their er...romanticized translations but I do listen to the bits and sit on them. But I've listened to a sea of Spanish/Japanese things by this point in my life and I never picked up either. I think the only thing I am going to end up speaking in the end is this bastardized version of Eng and conlangs =P!

Keep on keeping on though <3~!
