Cognates are words in two different languages that ultimately have the same historical source. For example, both French père and Spanish padre have their origins in the Latin word pater. English father and German Vater are, together with père, padre, and pater cognates derived from Proto-Indo-European *phəˈtēr. Now using the consonant shifts described in Grimm's Law find the English cognates of the following Latin words.
