333: Do Nov 6, 2015
'Do' is unique to English and Welsh. In English, the word is used to
form questions, negative statements, and for emphasis in positive
statements. In other languages, not only is this word, or some
equivalent unnecessary, and it is nonexistent in other living languages,
except perhaps in the sense of an action. The word is originally from
Cornish which is now dead, and had special words for denoting
questions, and separating valences.
