ArchivesRe: Etymology of rose / rhodon
in reply to a message by Kassios
Thank you, Cassios, for your detailed answer. Now I don't have the means to check the information you give; some of it sounds convincing (especially your first observation, if there is any proof for it), some of it makes me frown (No 4, which seems to give little evidence). Anyway, I would like you to answer one or two more questions:
1. Do you have any reliable sources that agree with your theory? Well-accepted standard works on etymology? Maybe books that don't have a 9 at the beginning of their ISBN number? And if you don't:
2. How come, obviously everybody else seems to be wrong, and only you are right? To you have a theory, as to why the truth has been suppressed? Conspiracy?
But maybe I am totally wrong and I'm just using the wrong books.
