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 ...
in music theory, a cognate set is a type of cyclic set; in historical linguistics, a cognate set is a set of cognates, i.e. of words descended from the same etymon

[3] Prior to this, following the withdrawal of Rome from Britain, other British migrants from what is now modern Devon had established the region of Domnonea (in Breton) or Domnonée (in French) in the north of the peninsula, taken from the Latin Dumnonia.
Note, however, the difference between French and Italian in the choice of auxiliary for the verb 'be' itself: Fr. J'ai été 'I have been' with 'have', but Italian sono stato with 'be'. In Southern Italian languages the principles governing auxiliaries can be quite complex, including even differences in persons of the subject.
