| Is it necessary to make a distinction between 'young' and 'new', or is that an anglophone's prejudice? I currently have "gil" for "age" (from Hebrew), and derived from that, "pigil" young, and "gagil" old. I kind of think I do need to have a distinction, because I bought a new dog. vs. I bought a young dog. OTOH, the distinction is masked in "I bought a new car." Maybe I need to base the 'new' root on 'recent.' Rex May rmay@hidden.email NOTE NEW PHONE: 1-970-218-0889 All about me here: |
