Now I don´t know whether this verb has been discussed here before, I
don´t feel inclined to seek out any such discussion at this time, but
doesn´t habere sound to you like the ugly duckling in the latin nest?
It sounds more germanic than italic. Anyone know how old this word is
in latin, when it is attested the first time?
