<p>There are a lot of obvious cognates between Japanese and Latin through recently borrowed English or Romance words, so I was wondering what was surprising about it.<p>But it seems the author is talking about traditional Japanese words, and looking for ties in words and idioms like ("kokoro" & "corculum"), ("koi" & "cupio"), ("ganbare" & "quam vale"), ("omedetō" & "omen datum").<p>Seems a bit farfetched to me, but I'm no expert.</p>

<p>This should matter if Kagi ever intends to do business in the EU.<p>I suppose a serious breach of regulations, and if Kagi decided to ignore fines, apart from a bad reputation, could ultimately lead to things like judicial decisions of blocking access to the website or blocking payments for EU customers.</p>

<p>After asserting it's a rubber duck, there are some claims without follow-up:<p>- Just after that it doesn't translate the "rubber" part<p>- It states there's no land nearby for it to rest or find food in the middle of the ocean: if it's a rubber duck it doesn't need to rest nor feed. (That's a missed opportunity to mention the infamous "Friendly Floatees spill"[1] in 1992 as some rubber ducks floated to that map position). Although it seems to recognize geographical features of the map, it fails to mention Easter Island is relatively nearby. And if it were recognized as a simple duck — which it described as a bird swimming in the water — it seems oblivious to the fact that the duck might feed itself in the water. It doesn't mention either that the size of the duck seems abnormally big in that map context.<p>- The concept of friends and foes doesn't apply to a rubber duck either. Btw labeling the duck picture as a friend and the bear picture as a foe seems arbitrary (e.g. a real duck can be very aggressive even with other ducks.)<p>Among other things, the astronomical riddle seems also flawed to me: it answered "The correct order is Sun, Earth, Saturn".<p>I'd like for it to state :<p>- the premises it used, like "Assuming it depicts the Sun, Saturn and the Earth" (there are other stars, other ringed-planets, and the Earth similarity seems debatable)<p>- the sorting criteria it used (e.g. using another sorting key like the average distance from us "Earth, Sun, Saturn" can be a correct order)<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendly_Floatees_spill" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendly_Floatees_spill</a></p>

<p>The etymology of "chauve" (bald) in "chauve-souris" (bat) is debated, but I've often read that it could be a deformation of a word designating an owl or a crow (it would be a cognate with the late Latin "cavannus" (tawny owl), for example).<p>On a similar note, the "cerf" (deer) in "un cerf-volant" (a kite toy) probably derive from occitan sèrp (snake) as a reference to dragon-shaped kites from Asia.</p>

<p>Some other things that irk me a little with that font :<p>The "@" looks thinner than the other chars.<p>The "%" has its fraction slash cut in 2 non aligned non rectilinear parts (and not coherent with their "‰" and "‱").<p>(Also, the "€" looks weird to me, maybe because the horizontal lines are of the same length ? But that's probably less important in a coding context)</p>
