You can feed feed to your livestock, and they will feed on feed.

You can eat eats, too.

I also wonder about things like why you "eat" food? You can drink a drink, but you can't food your food? Instead, it's drink a drink and eat your food. Why not food your food? It makes no sense.

When you read that entire page, the three languages I mentioned are all listed.
(Plus my previous post also had a sarcastic tone due to the fact that ALL current languages borrow from one another)

Smithsonian seems to be heading down the route of History, Discovery, and others with this stupid made-up crap. Still, Apache helicopter vs. a dragon. Enjoy the linked video.
