COWBELLS (Alternating Bivocalism*) The cows bellow; the cowbells go yellow; the cobwebs grow mellow; the cobblestones glow. The flowers now melt to the rose of the snow. The bowers now ebb to the throes of the crow. (*Two vowels only, alternating throughout)

WORD FACT Greek “strephein” (to turn) ultimately gives us the word “strophe” — a “turn” in poetry. It also gives us: Catastrophe → an overturning/downturn [1/3]

WORD FACT Latin “intestīnus”, meaning “internal”, ultimately gives us the word “intestines”. It is also believed to be the model for Latin “clandestīnus”, from which we get “clandestine”. [1/2]

WORD FACT Words derived from Greek “ergon” (work, action, or task): Energy → via Greek “energeia” (activity or operation), from en- (in/at) + ergon. Synergy → via Greek “synergia” (working together), from syn- (together) + ergon. [1/4]

At an earlier stage, Greek used to have a [w] sound, sometimes written with a letter called digamma (Ϝ). So the root "erg-" was pronounced "werg-", which shows its relation to the English "work".
