Talk:Juncture loss

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Nought" is sometimes taken as an example ("an aught" -> " a nought"). More likely, though, "aught" and "naught" are a matched pair, meaning "anything" and "nothing", rather like "ever" and "never" or Latin "ullus" and "nullus". Can anyone shed more light on this? --Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da) 13:13, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

The 'adder' is called 'adder' in Dutch and 'otter' in German. Is it really certain that 'nadder' was the original form in English? --Mzzl (talk) 08:49, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

Hi, rebracketing is a newer article, which seems to document much the same phenomena IMHO. Do you think it should be merged? --Kjoonlee 19:51, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
