Careto, a quick study in oil pastels and coloured pencils 👹

In Northern Portugal, Carnival is still celebrated the same way since pre-Roman times.

The Caretos or Entrudos Chocalheiros run around the villages with their loud bells to chase away the cold and welcome the life of Spring. In some places, straw effigies are also set up to be ceremoniously burned. There's music, masks, colours and plenty of food for many days.

Ancient Greek híppos, Latin equus, Irish each, and Icelandic jór all mean 'horse', and Spanish yegua and Romanian iapă mean 'mare'. They're very different, yet they ultimately stem from the same Proto-Indo-European word. They drifted apart due to the sound changes they underwent.

What would their modern English, German, Dutch, French and Italian cognates look like if they had survived? I tell about it on my Patreon.
