Are you implying that the word for leopard is compounded from the word for leopard???? How did they get the first word for leopard if they didn't have a word for leopard?????

Correction: it's male leopard. It surprised me as well. It's ultimately from Indo-Iranian origin.

The Dutch are sneaky bastards (stiekemeklootzakken).

There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.
