 Re: Dscussion about history
I feel sorry to interject with such a miniscule observation; I am only here, to question a certain usage of the term, Moggy.
The reason is, it is a family name here in Canada. And, I have learned it is also in use in the UK, as a slang. So, curious as a cat; I am searching for the history of the usage of that term; and whether or not, I should concerned with the New World connotations.....
Or, rather.
And, here I start to envolve myself with your thread;
Of, which I am not learned.
But, each procession of 'tribes' that had linguistic value;
Must have shared their knowledge, to some degree.
Thus, trading societies; traded more than resources;
They must have traded words, idioms, and/or thoughts.
Whether, or not, they came as pillagers, or as traders;
The same can be said for the tribes in the N. American,
Trade, was a commonality.
The language is a part of the trade!
