Across the traditions

Reverse entry

They are spread across 6 different families, from people outward, which is the mark of a sense so basic that almost every tradition needs a word for it. German carries the most, with 4 separate fragments for it — a tradition that needs this many words for one idea is telling you something about what it cares about.
