Joke 'um Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 "Anda". Third person singular form of the verb "Andar". I believe it comes from the same root where English got "Wander" many moons ago. Kind of a cognate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Many years ago - college days, late 60's and early 70's - when driving on Highway 1 through Marin County (north of San Francisco) we were always delighted to see a gigantic wooden statue of Don Quixote. Sadly, someone eventually decided to torch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
