Rubbish, my first word was 'antidisestablishmentarism'. "No, it's Mammy" my mother says. But even at age 3 I found this word too simple for my high intellect.

        The word MOTHER is English. In Malayalam/Tamil it's AMMA. In Hindi it's MA. The English variations include MAMA, MOM, MUMMY. They all have this M sound about them. Funny huh? Maybe it's natural for a baby to use an M sound to call it's mother. Maybe even the cavemen of the stone age had M sounding worlds for MOM Nish

                time to get a book on linguistics. there's a reason english and hindi (and dozens of other modern languages) are each known as Indo-European langauges. -c
