Animation showing the construction of a geared five-bar cognate linkages from an initial four-bar cognate. A five-bar linkage has two degrees of freedom, and thus there does not exist a five-bar linkage which is capable of acting as a cognate. [Note 1] However, it is possible to generate a 5-bar cognate using gears. Select four-bar linkage of ...

While traditional linguistic studies had developed comparative methods (comparative linguistics), chiefly to demonstrate family relations between cognate languages, or to illustrate the historical developments of one or more languages, modern contrastive linguistics intends to show in what ways the two respective languages differ, in order to help in the solution of practical problems.

The word cognate itself is a borrowing from Latin, and means "related". That can include a parent-child relationship as well as the relationship of cousins (unlike the German word normally used to translate cognate: urverwandt, where the ur-prefix stressses that the words are not just related, but are related in the distant past).
