shantinik Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 I'm sure it has been asked and answered before, so I apologize. Why is a frog called a frog? (not meant to be a riddle.) Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Darnton Posted August 9, 2003 Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 Ha! This one only comes up every year or so, on every single violin board. :-) There are lots of speculative answers, but no one's come up with a totally authoritative one. They all sound good at first glance--equally good, unfortunately. There's a French word that's a credible candidate, and a German one that means something totally different, etc......... Everyone swears with authority that his answer is the Right One, though, and provides old references (from people who probably didn't know, either, but are Old Authoritative Sources) to back himself up. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
