hernesheir The bright side of this great list reminds me of the etymology of birch, from the (unatested) Proto-Indo-European root *bhereg-, meaning "gleaming, white". The bark of many birch tree species is bright white. Interesting also that the ash tree genus name Fraxinus also stems from this root, via Latin. Jan 2, 2011
