It so happened that       only the color remained.              Apelsin fruit (orange fruit) came from Holland - in Russia they thought it was       an apple, and they called it by the Holland word "appel". In this way we had       got the word "apelsin" and "apelsinovy cvet(color)" (which, however, is more       yellowish than orange color, in Russia).              Bye, Mark!       Alexander Koryagin       english_tutor 2019              ---        * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/2 16/0 120/544 123/130 131 203/0 221/1 6 360       SEEN-BY: 226/17 227/114 229/354 426 1014 240/1120 2100 5138 5832 5853       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 261/38 280/5003 317/3 320/119 219 322/0 757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 640/1384 2454/119       PATH: 221/6 1 320/219 240/5832 229/426           |
