Re: Trans: 'I love you'

Has anyone noticed how many of these translations use some variation of
"mer" or "mir" to mean love?  I have a language in which "meraa" is "to
love," as well.  Did we all get it from Ancient Egyptian?  Or is there
some ur-language?


 I think I may have nabbed it from Tolkienian languages...but I may be
mistaken, it's been a whole year since I've looked at Quenya!! Shame on me!
