What knowledge of French I have (a rather puny item) seems to confirm
this. Isn't it like Swedish 'hos'? (Daniel, BP, Andreas, Jessica,
anyone?).
On the other hand, _chez_ does look a lot like if it might be descended
from _casâ_ (ablative, with the Romance ablative shift)? Can anyone
confrim/deny?
