And if that HNQ listing brings more people to the site for whatever reason, I'm happy. The end justifies the means, I guess. | |

| Jul 12, 2016 at 16:29 | comment | added | Ben Kovitz | I've read that the two senses of cum converged from two unrelated Proto-Indo-European roots, the conjunction being a frozen accusative relative/interrogative pronoun and spelled quom in Old Latin; its feminine sibling is quam. Hopefully this comment provides from useful search terms for someone who wants to dig deeper. This looks like a good start. | |
