Re: Dominic, history of the name?
in reply to a message by Menke
I've just remembered that in France you'll sometimes hear older religious Christian people say "le sabbat (sa-ba)" or "le jour du sabbat" (the day of the sabbat) instead of "le samedi". You can also find "sabbat" instead of "samedi" on some very old religious (Christian) documents. I've always found that interesting.
