When we used to study Latin, the word lana did not immediately ring a bell. What did it mean? lane, land or lens? No—it actually meant wool. At first glance, you might conclude that lana is a Romance word, wool is Germanic. It feels similar to other distinct pairs like the miel versus honey, or lac versus milk, right? Well, share a single common ancestor: the Proto-Indo-European root *wĺ̥h₂neh₂ (which meant “wool” or “fleece”). https://mapologies.com/animal-product
