so the root is Scandinavian and means poke, but the word itself means something different?

gib · 25th November 2015, 11:36 PM

my guess is there is a metaphorical poke or stir in there

so for example my guess of 'thrill' sort of worked because it essentially means 'pierce [with emotion]'.

a word similar to 'tril' meant a hole or to make a hole, hence 'nostril', and the deep root is the common ancestor word for 'through'

but it was poke/stir not pierce

gib · 25th November 2015, 11:37 PM

also it's oblivion so i'm wondering what the meta is

Magicziggy · 25th November 2015, 11:43 PM

R _ _ _ _ _

I think the root word can at least imply pierce, e.g., run through.
