Check out mine...<BR/>Cobb<BR/>from the Middle English byname or personal name Cobbe, Cobba, or its Old Norse cognate Kobbi, which are probably from an element meaning ‘lump’, used to denote a large man. <BR/>from a reduced form of Jacob.<BR/>It makes me laugh. We were always told by the older people in the family that it's because our ancestors from england lived in a castle on a hill, so i guess that's what the lump is. We don't have enough large people to be lumps.Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17146887258171432316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11674728.post-1139525941323552742006-02-10T09:59:00.000+11:002006-02-10T09:59:00.000+11:00it's on PAX on the 23rd.it's on PAX on the 23rd.ckjollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263260525667337446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11674728.post-1139525729884151202006-02-10T09:55:00.000+11:002006-02-10T09:55:00.000+11:00Bobby, I think I saw that on lifetime the other da...Bobby, I think I saw that on lifetime the other day.iconoclasmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13876479468702071512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11674728.post-1139490760811941712006-02-10T00:12:00.000+11:002006-02-10T00:12:00.000+11:00I can see the made-for-TV movie now: "Long-Limbed...I can see the made-for-TV movie now: <BR/><BR/>"Long-Limbed And Driven For Christ: The Christine Hnat Story."Bobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14043613511547329220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11674728.post-1139459424142956222006-02-09T15:30:00.000+11:002006-02-09T15:30:00.000+11:00not in Czech or Slovakian ... there it's pronounce...not in Czech or Slovakian ... there it's pronounced "hnaht". just a puff of air before the -nat and a long "ah" sound.ckjollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263260525667337446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11674728.post-1139459200756501632006-02-09T15:26:00.000+11:002006-02-09T15:26:00.000+11:00So, is the "h" silent?So, is the "h" silent?G.
