If and only if the original is a Class I chain (+) < (+) Both 4-bar cognates will be class I chains. If the original is a drag-link (double crank), both cognates will be drag links. If the original is a crank-rocker, one cognate will be a crank-rocker, and the second will be a double-rocker.
This list contains Germanic elements of the English language which have a close corresponding Latinate form. The correspondence is semantic—in most cases these words are not cognates, but in some cases they are doublets, i.e., ultimately derived from the same root, generally Proto-Indo-European, as in cow and beef, both ultimately from PIE *gʷōus.
Greek and English share many Indo-European cognates. In some cases, the cognates can be confused with borrowings. In some cases, the cognates can be confused with borrowings.

False cognates are pairs of words that seem to be cognates because of similar sounds and meaning, but have different etymologies; they can be within the same language or from different languages, even within the same family. [1]
The cognates in the table below share meanings in English and Spanish, but have different pronunciation. Some words entered Middle English and Early Modern Spanish indirectly and at different times. For example, a Latinate word might enter English by way of Old French, but enter Spanish directly from Latin. Such differences can introduce ...
While the majority of lexical differences between Spanish and Portuguese come from the influence of the Arabic language on Spanish vocabulary, [2] [3] most of the similarities and cognate words in the two languages have their origin in Latin, [4] but several of these cognates differ, to a greater or lesser extent, in meaning.
In linguistics, a cognate object (also known as a cognate accusative or an internal accusative [1]) is a verb's object which is etymologically related to the verb. More specifically, the verb is one that is ordinarily intransitive (lacking any object), and the cognate object is simply the verb's noun form.
