G'day Snuffy,

... German origins ( if not ultimately original ... that wwould have been "Ugh!" in ancient proto-human ...) are appropriate to discussing what we call 'English' ... which is at the western end of West Germanic languages - even if it has plundered most other European .(and not a few 'colonial' languages) along the way!

Regards,

BobB
