    Capricorn 2: Three stained-glass windows, one damaged by bombardment The word three descends from the Indo-European (IE) root trei- which means “three.” Its paronyms include thrice, thirteen, thirty, trey, trammel, tercel (a male hawk used in falconry), tribe, trio, triple, trim, testament, testicle, test, testify, teapoy, sitar, and riding (an administrative or electoral division in Canada). The word stained descends from the IE root teng- which means “to soak” and from which also descend the words taint, tincture, tinge, tint, and dunk. The word glass descends from the IE root ghel-2 which means “to shine.” Its paronyms are the prefix chloro-, cholera, glad, gold, glare, glance, gleem, glee, glimmer, gloat, and yellow. The word window can be traced to two IE roots—we- (to blow) and okw- (to see). Paronyms of the former include nirvana, vent, ventilate, wind, weather, and wing. Paronyms of the latter are antler, autopsy, eye, ocular, optic, and synopsis. The word one descends from the IE root oi-no- which means “one, unique.” Paronyms of its “basic form” include the indefinite articles (a, an), once, alone, anon, atone, lone, lonely, nonce, none, and the prefix uni-. Paronyms of its “suffixed form” include unique, inch, ounce, uncial, and quincunx. The word damage descends from the IE root dap- which means “to apportion in exchange.” Its paronyms include damn, condemn, indemnify, and indemnity. The verb bombard descends from the French bombe, the Italian bomba, the Latin bombus “a deep, hollow noise; a buzzing or booming sound”, and ultimately from the Greek bombos which means “deep and hollow sound”, echoic.
