That's really interesting, thanks for the detailed answer. I never learned Latin. Instead I learned French and Spanish. So, I only know the descendants of Latin.

Also cool how Latin has a verb for "to be angry", etc. English has "to anger" but that's to make someone else angry. I wonder why languages lost that form, because it seems really useful to have a single verb for those.
