Galactic latte

The English words galaxy and latte are etymologically related. Galaxy stems from the Ancient Greek word for 'milk', gála, which has the same Proto-Indo-European ancestor as Latin lactem, which became latte in Italian.

The Milky Way was named after its milky glowing band in the night sky. Galaxy used to mean 'Milky Way', but it became a word for any star system when it turned out ours is not the only one in the universe.

@Iamkingming posted a rly interesting video on ytube abt a text he wrote that is mutually intelligible btwn basically all germanic languages. there was a comment saying the concept works for slavic languages, and so i wanted to try with romance. now i dont speak aby romance language, except for latin, so do bear with me if this isnt the best execution but:

frigidum hibernum est prope; tempestas appropiabo. veni huc, amice, habemus aquam, vinum et lac dulcem a boe. A, et caldum jus!

I'm not used to draw this kind of cute scenes but hey, this turned up nicely!

So, a cute romance between a lady and an aragonese knight! Both the dress of the lady and the panoply of the knight are lifted up from the Morgan Bible!

Aranya aranyeta, fila fils en la finestreta.

Feta i fixada la fina teleta,

fiça i mata palometa o voleta.

Fiçada i dintro d'un farcel ficada,

voleta volava, pero ara minjada.

Aranya aranyeta, fila fils en la finestreta.
