You lot make everything so complicated.
A simple lesson.
Translate ‘veni, vidi, vici’ into German or English.
Result:
I came, I saw, I conquered.
Ich kam, ich sah, ich siegte.
What’s happening? The ‘i’ (ich) moves from the end to the beginning.
According to German and English grammar, it’s correct for the ‘i’ to be at the front.
Question: Would you still recognise ‘iven, ivid, ivic’ now?
The grammar in German and English isn’t wrong as such, and it also explains why so many words begin with an ‘o’.
Coincidence or strategy?
