It’s also very informative to learn Greek and Hebrew, especially in tracing meanings of terms used over millennia.

It’s amazing the number of scholars who consider ancient languages to be less sophisticated than their own thinking, when those prior generations had far fewer distractions to master the art of expression.

Then again one can succumb to learning....Esperanto.

There’s an academic discipline that studies the evolution of language over time. I sincerely can not remember what it’s called, which is ironic.
