New words to learn

Thanks to Harry for his interesting comments. I am going to go with his Proto-Indo-European view of language as he went from siege to Upanishad and the Upanishads are part of the yoga tradition.

The new words for this week are now up. Formal Italian can be strikingly different to the local dialect. In the dialect of Tremezzina (on Lake Como) una sedia (chair) is una cadrega.

Now, Harry, your challenge is to find out why.

My friendly neighbourhood cat informs me that all those Italian words just translate into one thing - toys for cats! :-)
