Subject: pot Re: Re[2]: [tied] Gemination in Celtic
In Spanish bote is used for "container" usually
plastic or "jar", also"boat"
except for here in El Salvador, where it only has the
meaning "boat" and they use guacal "gourd" for
"plastic container"
It definitely looks related to bottle
So is it possible that pot was a Germanic reflex of
*bot-????
=========
Bloch has this :
I give only the main points
Bouteille :
Seulement Gallo-roman.
A du gagner du Nord au Sud
Pot :
Attesté dans les langues germaniques
et celtiques, où il semble
venir du français (sic !)
What does von Wartburg say about
these two words ?
