| | 'Eskimo' 'words' for 'snow' |
 | | Surely it cannot mean the word must have exactly the same range of applications as English "snow", or Eskimo surely has no words for snow at all. |
 | | This is a compound word meaning 'house-building material' (note the familiar 'iglu' at the beginning): it can mean plywood or brick just as well as snow. |
 | | Again, we can find more words in English if we try to cover the same range as the 4 Greek words cover: adoration, affection, ardor, amourousness, attachment, caring, concern, cherishing, compassion, devotion, enamorement, fancy, favor, fondness, liking, love, lust, passion, tenderness -- to name but a few (19 to be precise). |
