Talk:salvete

Any relation to "salvte", er..."salute"? I could call this asking a question, but I would not quite be telling the truth, now would I? --74.41.81.126 01:53, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Isn't the more direct relationship of salute to ? Words used as an everyday greeting like "salve" and "salvete" could easily be survivors of an archaic verb, such as the putative unattested salveo: or be some other kind of mutation. What relationship do "hello", "hi", and "goodbye have to other words in other languages? DCDuring TALK 00:22, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
