OK. Tell me than what CROSS and CIRCLE have in common?
Need a little help? Serb. KROŠNJA (krown of the tree), KRUNA (crown),
KRUŽENJE (cruising), KRUG (circle), KRST (cross), KROCITI (step in),
KRAK (limb, arm, shank) sun god HORS => CHRIST; HRAST (oak), Oak Risen
Christ Crucifix; from Quercus; also, pay attention to the relation
between the Serbian 'rasti' (vegetate, move, grow, thrive) and Engliss
'rise'.
There is no need for imagination... just a sound mind!
Explain how your sound decided to look for something like cross in
SerboCroat rather than look for something like crux [kr.u:ks] (one of
the pronunciations of "crooks").
Are you trying to be humorous? Look at the English dictionary: 'crook'
is a circular segment of a curve!
Ignite your brain cells!
