10. I came, I saw, I conquered |
|
vidi..........I saw
..\/.............1st German sound shift
..wit, witty.....low German, eg English
..\/.............2nd German sound shift
..wissen.........high German, eg standard German; means to know
..IOW, what you know is what you saw....at least according to etymology

Sherbet - water ice that has beaten egg whites or a little dissolved gelatine added. Milk is used instead of water for milk sherbets
Sorbet - water ice flavored with several kinds of fruit
