yep I had noticed the parallels but not only with verbs also nouns and adjectives too
Shipping - navigation (Schiff vs Navis)
Manly - virile (mann vs vir)
I'll stop as the list is almost endless. I'm pretty sure that the idea was to separate the scholar from the rabble, if you look right back in history this is a very British custom. Even the Druids used to write in Greek, so as their followers would never become as learned. (it might have just been Greek characters they used not the whole language, I don't quite remember).
