su = "and", "but" in Old Hittite (found in this commented translation of "The Proclamation of Anittas").
If anybody wonders how you can have a word that means something in between "and" and "but", then you don't have to go 3000 years back in history to find one. Similar words exist in for instance Romanian and Russian. Edited by Iversen on 24 September 2009 at 9:56pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |
