Talk:loaf

Is "block" the right word? The loaves in the picture do not look like blocks to me?

Is it possible that this is cognate with Latvian klaips (in the translation section)? 129.78.32.97 23:51, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. English is related to Latvian, but the etymology of loaf cannot be traced back with any certainty farther than Proto-Germanic. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 23:53, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
