Yes there is but it’s because of German law in they regard. And as it has to be approved by a governance body in public there is no chance of obfuscating it.

Normally that is a good thing from my point of view as it prevent shady weapons deals - but this is not a normal situation :(

Do you have a source for that for me to followup? I learned te Latin root as well, but in the historic context of “I’m your servant” as a formal goodbye formula.

I’m aware of the old Germanic sev which could be argued to be the root but ice never seen a linguist or historian actually explain that!

Thanks in advance!
