I find languages very intriguing and like to try to understand the origins and meanings of words. If that link is one that you think Mr. Dixie will like, here are some more that I have found to be both interesting and useful:

William Whitaker's Words at Notre Dame - Latin <--> English:
http://archives.nd.edu/words.html

The Perseus Digital Library at Tufts - Greek, Roman, Arabic, Germanic, etc.:
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/

The Bosworth-Toller Anglo-Saxon Dictionary - Old English:
http://ebeowulf.uky.edu/BT/bosworth.htm

Beolingus - German <--> English, German <--> Spanish, and German <--> Portuguese:
http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/

UT Austin Linguistics Research Center:
http://www.utexas.edu/cola/centers/lrc/



Also, here is the first link that I consulted regarding the above post by Lucretius:



It has the interlinear Greek translation needed to find what Lucretius mentioned. From there it was off to Perseus to see what they would claim that the Greek translation would be...etc.

I think that the question that I asked of Lucretius is not an easy one, so I don't fault Lucretius for not replying immediately.

P.S. May Mr. Dixie have fun with the above links, but if the original link that I provided was especially interesting, please first take a look at the Semitic Roots Appendix of the online version of the American Heritage Dictionary (https://ahdictionary.com/word/semitic.html). One can understand the meanings of a lot of commonly given Biblical names by reading it.

Have a nice day!
