*****GK: In Ukrainian the verbs "dovesty" "dovodyty"
mean both "to prove" and "to bring (to an end, to a
planned locus of arrival). "Vesty" also means "to give
a ride to" or "to lead" (along with "vodyty" for the
latter. "Vodij" means "driver". Besides the prefix
"do" we have similar terms with prefixes "po" and
"za". I wonder if this "vodyty" is related to Latin
vadere?****
