1. slave => slav- => *thlav- => *thrav- => *thrau- => thrall.
2. 這是一種缺乏理據(jù)性的根據(jù)音變規(guī)律和原理做出的一種聯(lián)想和近義關(guān)聯(lián)。其目的在于使單詞更易于理解和記憶。
3. 因此這種聯(lián)想不是天馬行空地亂聯(lián)想，而是根據(jù)音變規(guī)律做出的一種比較合理的聯(lián)想。
4. 諧音“是奴啊，死奴啊，是奴哦，死奴哦”。

- thrall (n.)
- late Old English tr?l "bondman, serf, slave," from a Scandinavian source akin to Old Norse tr?ll "slave, servant," figuratively "wretch, scoundrel," probably from Proto-Germanic *thrakhilaz, literally "runner," from root *threh- "to run" (cognates: Old High German dregil "servant," properly "runner;" Old English tr?gan, Gothic tragjan "to run"). Meaning "condition of servitude" is from early 14c.
