abrogate
Maybe Brazilan dude can tell us if there is any relationship between abrogate and obrigado (thank you). Maybe this comes together when no thanks are necessary?
So sue me. I'm a bit rusty! LOL

There is a relationship between Pt. '(muito) obrigado' and Eng. '(much) obliged', and both are derived from the same word.Maybe Brazilan dude can tell us if there is any relationship between abrogate and obrigado (thank you). Maybe this comes together when no thanks are necessary?
Portuguese has quite a few instances of l <> r, as in escravo (Lat. sclavus), praça (VLat. plattea), etc. Other l <> r changes only affect some dialect areas, and l <> r also features in comic book(let)s as the Cebolinha series ("Este é o meu blinquedo plefelido").

I agree with BD. The fact that you discuss a relationship between two other words does not automatically imply that you had ruled the two other words to be unrelated.I thought the reply implied a clear and loud no to any kind of perceived relationship between the two words suggested above .Frank, read more closely:any relationship between abrogate and obrigado (thank you).

BTW, what is the Arabic or Farsi script in your signature?

I thought it to be obvious. My apologies...I agree with BD. The fact that you discuss a relationship between two other words does not automatically imply that you had ruled the two other words to be unrelated.
