Did hindi take "guess" as a loanword or is that just a massive coincidence



Loan word. I can't remember the the Hindi word for "guess" right now.

PS: Although I don't remember the exact words but there were some which are strikingly similar in both languages. But I found this for you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Hindi_...

Bujho.


That's a neat list. Thug, Punch, Loot, Jodhpurs, Dinghy, Cummerbund, Cot, Bungalow, ...


Guess = अनुमान , अंदाज़ , अटकल


I'd love to be able to use Unicode in general in my passwords. I've already mapped an interrobang on to my keyboard because I was using it so much I needed a key for it. But who would take it?

(Since someone will ask, yes, there are some accounts I'm willing to limit myself to using one of my personal computers to access, or jumping through significant hoops to get there, like my bank account.)


Holy crap. The interrobang is awesome! Why have I never heard of it before‽
