P.S. Both "homme" and "on" in French comes from the Latin "homo".
Yes, and the derivation of “on” from “homme” was apparently inspired by the Early German construct Mann -> man (that was maybe not spelt that way at the time). Ironic, that now some advocate the use of “mensch” in German to replace “man”...
History of languages is a funny thing, yeah... :] Cheers, Matija -- gsm: +386 41 849 552 www: http://matija.suklje.name xmpp: matija.suklje@gabbler.org
