'anger'

From: "David Peterson" <DigitalScream@...>
To: <CONLANG@...>

> Oh, and...is "anger" derived from the German "Angst" in any way?
Not directly.  OED says "anger" is from Old Norse <angr>
"trouble/affliction", and Watkins says "Angst" is from Old High German
<angust> "anxiety".  They're both supposed to be from IE *ang- (Germanic
*angaz and *angusti).

    *Muke!
