Interesting question. I just had a look around and found this site:
http://www.wordorigins.org/histeng.htm

English, Dutch, German, Norwegian belong to the same group of languages which is Germanic. According to the article modern Scandinavian languages are derived from North Germanic while German, Dutch, English come from Western Germanic. The original influence seems to come from Danish and Jutland invaders who spoke a Western Germanic language similar to Friesian.

The etmology sources I\'ve checked all refer to middle German but I wonder if the those old West Germanic languages are the source. It would stand to reason that sea-borne invaders would have a word for harbour. :)

Any language specialists around?


edit: another interesting article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanic_language

i was seriously considering submiting some tutorials but i have a question, what can we do to prevent this from happening yet again?
I cant see with good eyes that my efforts and future free contributions are explored in such a way.
if its a risk we all have to take then i prefer to have my tutorials not so exposed on CMON.

Whats next from that @ss? create a legit company of stolen stuff and sell it?

nice strategy involving GW :D

My favorite farcical phrase was from my Grandfather, my Father\'s father, who used to say,

\" I\'ll slap the shi* out of you and slap you again for shi**ing\" :eek:

He was a church deacon and very very funny.
