Mangiat scripsit:> Hey, just a question: is the word 'law' from Latin 'lex' via French 'loi'No, it got into English from North Germanic. The English cognate is "lie" (as in "lie down", not as in "tell a falsehood", before you jokesters get started). -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org One art/there is/no less/no more/All things/to do/with sparks/galore --Douglas Hofstadter
