How do you find the direct source and ultimate source, and how do you know if two words are cognates, and how do you find the Latin/Greek version of an English word?

    If you're with mcfetridge... Look up the back of the book. There's an index.

    You can also look in the dictionary...

    One time, mcfetridge posted the answer key on his assignment site.
    Most people who found out aced it. Not sure whether he did this to boost the average up or not... but he's a good prof.
