Grab

Postby William Hupy » Wed Nov 27, 2019 2:27 pm

A distinctly Germanic word with PIE origins. It appears in most, if not all, indoeuropean languages. Grab lunch, grab the door, grab a nap...

Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
