Comment on Oh, now i get it! "Peanuts" is because they are nuts inside a pod-like thing, just like peas!

  There’s a type of pea which is called “Kiechererbse” in German. “Erbse” is the German word for pea. And “Kiecher” is the old German word for pea.

    Ok, so if pea in Old English is pise, should it be peapisepisepisepisepisepise or peapeapeapeapeapeapise? peapeapeapisepisepisepise?
