Re: Things Decided for Stupid Reasons

Recently I was scrolling through my Hathirysy dictionary and realized I had four words for 'path' because I had forgotten I already had a word for it multiple times. Now I have to figure out what the distinctions in meaning between ver, aspa, bao, and nieda are.
