This is true, but it’s also thinner and not as creamy. It’s very good, but different enough from cow’s milk to feel like a completely different drink. Honestly it tastes the tiniest bit like goat milk.

Just started watching Dragon Ball Super for the first time, and Goku would 100% do this.

Words that mean “write” usually originate as a meaning shift of an already existing word that meant “scratch”, “draw”, “carve”, or the like.
This is also the case with “write”, which is originally from the Proto-Indo-European root that meant “rip” or “tear”, which became “carve”, and then finally “write” in late Proto-Germanic/early Old English.
The only straightforward ways I can think of to get a brand new word meaning “write” after the fact would be to either: 1) coin it somehow, possibly by compounding existing morphemes or 2) borrow it directly from a language whose people already practiced writing. I’m not aware of any examples of this, but even though they are likely rare they probably do exist.

It’s very common for words used to mean “write” to predate writing. “Write” itself predates writing by thousands of years.
