Sehr interesant!
Es gibt das serbische Wort ,,akov" (ein altes Maß für
Flüssigkeit). Zusätzlich, wie man versteht, warum das serbische
,,okov" (Fessel, Fetter) phonologisch fast das selbe wie ,,akov"
ist (ein Maß für Flüssigkeit).
Is this different from your view previously expressed on sci.lang: "A
careful viewer will certainly have noticed that Lat. habeo has the
meaning 'keep'. Who would say at first sight that Eng. 'keep'
came from the same source as Serb. 'cuvati' (on cuva = he keeps).
It begun from 'gna-bel' - hnabiti (suppress), gnjaviti (badger,
plague bel-gna, press), gnev (rage, anger, wrath), kovati (to forge,
to hammer), okov (fetter), akov (dish, vessel), cabar (slop-basin),
kuvati (to cook), cuvati (to keep), cuvar = keeper."?
I do not know exactly what you have in mind.
'AKOV' is a special designed vessel and an old Serbian measure for
liquid - a unit of capacity, 15 U.S. gallons - about 56.6 liters.
Would you be able to give us any reference to article(s)
describing 'akov' as an old Serbian measure/vessel/dish
which you have not authored yourself?
