  • #C470 (cousin-german to covellite)

    I read from cousin-german to covellite.

     

    It looks like the use of the word "german" is using the old definition of "born of the same mother and father or grandparents".  

    https://www.etymonline.com/word/german?ref=etymonline_crossreference#etymonline_v_6036

     

    "cove" is not a combination of "convex" and "cave".

    https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=cove

     

     

    The word of the episode is "couvade".

    There's a bit more info here, although I'm sure you can find more somewhere else:
