It certainly doesn't look like _sed_. _wiec_ in fact is an old word (I mean, from a very early stage of Wenedyk). It comes from _autÄ?m_: _autÄ?m_ > _*avtj_ > _*avjec_, and then the _a-_ falls off. However, it violates no less than three rules, so I still might decide to replace it later. BTW, it means "but". There is also the word _maż_, which supposes a higher degree of opposition than _i_ "and", but a lower degree than _wiec_ "but". > > > > 7.

Ha, that's interesting! Indeed, _peramoenissimus_ could regularly spawn _piaramieÅ?szymie_! But the truth is more (or less, depending on your point of view) complicated. It is a literal translation of Pol. "przynajmniej", German "zu mindestens", Dutch "tenminste": _piara_ is from Lat. _per ad_ and means "with, near, at" (German "bei"); _mieÅ?szym_ is of course Lat. _mÄnÄmus_, enriched with the regular superlative ending _-ÄssÄmus_. > > > > 10. both > > > > We'd both do the same. > > > > Nosz wÄ?bu faczerzym iÅ? soÅ?. > > |SoÅ?|?
