Dani, or a hint for Dani's SS,

If you haven't already read it, there is a book you would probably really like. It is called History in English Words, by Owen Barfield, who was a member of the Inklings, with C.S. Lewis & Tolkien, etc.

It traces the origins of words and relates them to the culture & social aspects of the original language's society.
