Interesting! Makes sense given the common heritage in Proto-Germanic.
- dwc 13y agoCommon heritage, plus latter influences from the Viking era. I'm studying Norwegian (and a bit of Swedish) and the similarities with English are quite interesting. Also, the differences in the form of shifts. Like kvalm (qualm?) meaning queasy/sick.
