I wasn’t attacking you with my comment, but anyway. I do agree there is a relationship and they influenced each other a lot (mostly Greek influencing Latin, not so much in reverse). I was just trying to say that not even linguists claim they are related. I didn’t once make the claim that they have nothing to do with each other either.
Yeah, the use of “related” in only one way is a pet peeve of mine. Relationships have many natures, and I think we all intuitively know that. I don’t believe in arbitrarily enforcing one of those types as the only valid one. Notice I never said anything false. I just think it’s fascinating to learn about those relationships and think about the things we can’t know. It’s not as though I imagined that they are super similar and then argued for that being fact …

On that we agree :)
If you like language/linguistic content in general, check out this guy. He makes content about old norse and such, its really interesting
