Cognates section?
It would be great in Wiktionary to have a 'cognates' section with each English word. Cognates are fascinating and illuminating. For example 'commander' in French means to order something - as in a menu item - and 'peripatetique' is slang for a prostitute. The word 'tractor' in English comes originally from 'trekkein' meaning 'to pull' in Greek. Cognates and related words include 'trek' (as in the 'Great Trek') and 'stretch.'I see a cognate of 'yoke' with the German word 'zug' meaning train, though I may well be wrong.
The entry says yokes is its plural , yet "A hundred yoke of oxen" --Backinstadiums (talk) 22:08, 10 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Here the bell sense is labeled as "chiefly US", but no information seems to be given on what it is called elsewhere. Catonif (talk) 00:13, 10 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
