As I announced on the first day of this year, every month on the 27th I put three words in nine Germanic languages next to each other in the section 3x9. So, this also goes for today. In my enthusiasm, I immediately deviate from that, by choosing six words times nine this week. To really get going, so to say.
THREE TIMES NINE
Originally there were three Germanic language families: North, East and West Germanic. Unfortunately, all East Germanic languages have died out, but fortunately North and West Germanic languages are still there. In the section THREE TIMES NINE, every month on the 27th, I put three words in nine of those languages next to each other. In contrast to the series WEST GERMANIC, in this case, I leave the comparison to you. Have fun comparing!
