REad Colleen McCullough's excellent series on ancient Rome and the 1st
emperor, Gaius Julius Caesar. She explains that Julius is the family name. All males in the family would thus be called Julius, all females Julia, and they customarily added nicknames or descriptive names so people could tell them apart. (IIRC "caesar" means dictator or autocrat.) Roberta in D "Julia in MN" schrieb im Newsbeitrag news My name is the feminine version of Julius, which was my grandfather's name.

Kommst du mit has an understood (mir/uns) at the end, as does "you wanna come with (me/us)? The other Germanic Chicagoese is by: Not "I'm going to Debbie's house" but "I'm going by Debbie." Always seemed obvious to me it was a derivative of bei, which doesn't mean by. --pig On 1/21/05 14:53, in article 8ZdId.36428$Tf5.27600@lakeread03, "Pat in Virginia" wrote: It probably has roots in Deutsch: "Kommst du mit" & "Kommen Sie mit."

By the way, I don't think I-80 is the correct dividing line on this
