Rat Mortuis @ratmortuis.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Most likely although etymologists still can't quite get a direct link of church to Greek but can to early Germanic. Who likely borrowed it from the Greeks As I said elsewhere there's a lot of laziness in this map 120
The Sewphist @thesewphist.bsky.social · 15/10/2026The French “église” seems like a much more direct link. To Greek. Not to church. 010
