SirTainly: Also I forgot to mention it but it simply is a fact that Greek and especially Latin words have stayed much closer to their original forms in Dutch and German than in English. Even my nativespeaking Professor of Lit. agreed with me on that. Consider spellings and pronunciations like Homer, Ovid, Virgil, Mercury, Vulcan, Iliad where Dutch has Homeros, Ovidius, Vergillius, Mercurius, Vulkanos, Ilias.
