>I posted on this sometime last year, wondering what the feeding of a baby at
>her mother's breast is called in other languages.
"Mama" - a word for mother in at least a few languages - is thought to come
from the Latin baby-talk for breast. Not for what's *in* the breast, but
for the part of mom that baby snuggles with. I like that.
