Interesting stuff. Goes to show how there was one language in the ancient times, the Indo-European language.
Lord have mercy!In bed sick. Wasn’t able to go.
Yeah, that I knew. The root just looked closer to the Slavic than to the Latin. Yandex Translate gave the root as “to rise”, pretty straightforward.
Well, yes, it is how this starts to become visible as you learn more and more of an ever-wider range of languages. I can SEE the Tower of Babel, at least, its outline in the vast criss-crossing that is so clearly mixed-up versions of each other (after what little we really know of PIE) rather than languages developing separately in isolation; it’s all indicative of a sudden drastic change of all languages, which the ToB story fits, and other explanations, not so much.
I was gonna mention the Tower of Babel (from 4000 years ago) as well, as languages changed drastically around 4000 years ago.
I hear quite a few of them in the ROCOR parish we attend as we have a lot of different ethnicities present. Our priest monk is Anglo but speaks a bit of German, our other priest is from Indonesia, we have Greeks, Russians, Brazilians and a few others I can't remember, plus a few people speak other languages. We get to hear all of them on Saturday night/Sunday morningBelieve it or not, I actually know how to correctly say all of them too!

I picked them up over the years. Here in the US English, Slavonic, Greek, and Arabic are the most common and a little less so Romanian. Georgians will say theirs loud and proud. The Japanese one I picked up at an OCA parish where there were some families that lived in Japan for years. The Yupik one (Xris-tusaq Ung-uixtuq) I head from a Native Alaskan who used to live at one of my old parishes. I like that one the most mainly because it always confuses people who don't know it lolI hear quite a few of them in the ROCOR parish we attend as we have a lot of different ethnicities present.

eh....... don't go to New York or Seattle. The most unfriendly ROCOR people, both clergy and laity, were in those areas.
I can not in good conscience recommend the monastery on Vashon. I used to regularly visit Abbot Tryphon who used to be a kind, loving monk but has since drank the Moscow Kool-Aid. He has bought into their narrative that all Ukrainians are Nazis, Russia is on the good side of a holy war, Putin is a living saint, etc. Basically, a similar situation from how rusmeister has describe the Stalinist priests in Russia. Do not go there.
