Let the Päänussija Games Begin! (none / 0)

The Proto-IndoEuropean gave unto us 2 different words for farting. Pezd- to 'break wind softly' and the series pardate, perdo, perdzu, perdet, and _pjerdh (from Sanskrit, Greek, Lithuanian, Russian, and Albanian respectively) meaning 'to break wind loudly.'

An excellent start to the games. The ball is in Afew's court, I believe. Unless there are other challengers...
