I remember hearing a story that Norman Steenrod and someone else came up with the English words sheaf, stalk, and germ sitting on a front porch somewhere in the American midwest. I can't seem to find this story via google, but it seems possible since Steenrod was born in Dayton, Ohio. What do the French call stalks and germs? | |
