Puzzle from August 2002 Mensagenda
Donna's Diary
by Donna Myhrer
Transportation
Since we all had such fun with transportation last month, how about something similar this time? Well, I looked up the names of some vehicles and other forms of transportation in the dictionary. What I will give you here is the root meaning of the word and the language from which it came. What could be easier? (Two of the answers are very different kinds of vehicles even though they come from the same root word.) Answers are here.
1. Latin for “to throw”
2. Dutch for “to hunt or chase”
3. English for “to skim upon the water”
4. Hungarian for a small village near Raab
5. French for “to carry”
6. Latin for “chariot”
7. Latin for “two circles”
8. Latin for “couch”
9. Italian for “spool”
10. Latin for “to pull”
11. Greek for “wheel”
12. Latin for “to pull”
13. Scandinavian for “the shaft of a cart”
14. Persian for “convoy”
15. Latin for “all”
16. French for “a large ball”
