Dear means 'valued; precious; beloved'. However, in certain expressions it also means 'expensive', such as in to cost dear. This meaning, inherited from Proto-Germanic, became dominant in cognates of dear, such as Dutch duur, German teuer, and Swedish dyr. The infographic tells you the whole story.

and another comic done! This one for the sick prompt!
This will likely be the last prompt I'll be able to get done for LeshyCatPril, since I have a lot to do this month (there's a play we have to still work a lot on). But that doesn't mean there's nothing coming out! Just you wait!
Lamb: He doesn't look too bad. Make sure he gets enough rest. But we don't have enough camellias for a full recovery. I'll have to check in Darkwood for more.
Somy: …
Somy: You know, we'd have a lot more camellias if someone did't always snack on them during the harvest-
Leshy: YEAH, I KNOW!

240412 | ՞ 𐤟 Weekend 𐤟 ՞♡ִ𓈒
I think every Friday I will always be stressed and tired. My class starts at 10am and ends at 9pm, technically I spend 12 hours outside -plus the time I have to take the bus-.
If I finish my cycle with good grades and good health, I will consider myself as superhuman, haha.
While I read a book, I also learn some Quechua words. It's awesome!

I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in my bones and which can only be experienced in those bones.

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"
