More new words from my grandfather's diary (that's where most of the words I've been posting over the past few days are from). I've been trying to translate it, and I am so close to the end now! I translated two paragraphs yesterday, so hopefully, I can translate one or two more today, too. I wonder how many more new vocabulary words I'll come across before the end.

I wonder whether that's yet another cognate with Portuguese
gozar, which means 'to cum' among other things, in addition to native
jouir and borrowed
gaudir.
