Do not fall into the trap of ignorance of the recent "spelling is casting a SPELL!!!!" absurdity that has taken popularity among fools.

The power of language is not based primarily in single words, it is in the 'story' that is told by language and by the subtle inflections and 'sense' of the way it is written or told that shapes tone and meaning. Word origin alone is interesting as a thing to study but does not create meaning in the way that expressing an idea does.

Writing some of my responses to you was fun, because it can be a fun challenge (and useful to improve vocabulary usage) to write a sentence and then change as many of the Latin rooted words to Greek rooted ones. It is even harder to change either to as many Germano-English (Saxon as Orwell says) words as possible.

For example the word know as I used "kin" the Gaelic rooted word which has Old English but zero Latin or Greek root despite being lexically similar to "know". I think that "think" is the correct Saxon word for the same meaning but it is imprecise. From Latin it would be "comperhend"? Maybe, maybe "understand" but despite the Latin sounding "un-" I think that word may be a Saxon one. I am not sure. In Japanese it would be "wakaru".

know, knowledge etc are actually Old English roots not Greek as I mistakenly thought. Gnosis is of course knowledge, but I thought gnosis became know by being adapted, actually "gnosis" came to the Greeks from Proto-IndoEuropean languages all based on the "kn" root. Think and understand are also of Saxon origin. Think is obvious because it has the "thorn" phoneme.
