English cognate to "atreve" is "attribute".
~ов is an iterative suffix - like ~le or ~er in gamble and chatter. It's useful to know, because you can rationalise why it is always dropped in the present tense - you can't be iterative at the moment, unless you're an Englishman)

I didn't know that, but you'll grant me that it's not a very useful cognate (either in spelling or in meaning). >~ов is an iterative suffix - like ~le or ~er in gamble and chatter. It's useful to know, because you can rationalise why it is always dropped in the present tense - you can't be iterative at the moment, unless you're an Englishman) Very interesting, thanks.
