Subject: [tied] English "sea"
> Hi all:
> Kind of off topic at the moment, but I'm trying to find a decent
> etymology for the English word "sea" for an assignment in an English
> lang. history class I'm taking. So far, all I've got is
> Mid.Eng. "see" coming from OldEng. "sæ:", and a list of Germanic
> cognates. Anyone know of the original OG form, or an IE cognate? I
> saw Latin "saevus" listed as a possibility, but it was from an old,
> fairly unreliable source.
> Any help would be appreciated.
> Thanks
