maybe "love"? and "cat"'s direct lineage isn't that interesting cause it's a wanderwort, but it's so fascinating to me that so many languages have the same root for it to the point where Arabic qitt is nearly indistinguishable for me to English cat.

It would be fun if you included the gaydar etymology there too! Not everyone got to see it, and the ressearch is pretty much done :D

Video request: go, went, gone. Another linguistic said that it doesn't make sense because went is actually a different verb that was just more common in that tense. I just want to know what the 2 verbs are and how they go. Is it actually correct to say go, go-ed, gone? What was the present tense of went? My Google searches have been unfruitful. I lose sleep over this. Also, why is bring, brang, brung deemed not correct? Exhibit A: sing, sang, sung. Finally, split and hit. Yesterday, today and tomorrow, it's just split and hit. Try working in hi-tech and spending years correcting people writing that data storage was splitted between 2 volumes.
