Cognates section?
It would be great in Wiktionary to have a 'cognates' section with each English word. Cognates are fascinating and illuminating. For example 'commander' in French means to order something - as in a menu item - and 'peripatetique' is slang for a prostitute. The word 'tractor' in English comes originally from 'trekkein' meaning 'to pull' in Greek. Cognates and related words include 'trek' (as in the 'Great Trek') and 'stretch.'I see a cognate of 'yoke' with the German word 'zug' meaning train, though I may well be wrong.
