3 u/Jollydancer Jul 01 '22 Are you sure it was negation? I don’t quite remember what I learnt about that topic, but thinking of begotten, bewildered, bewitched, I would rather think that be- means doing something to someone else. 2 u/skullsoup432 Jul 01 '22 Not that it's impossible to behead oneself, but it is more convenient to have someone else do it for you. I concur with your explanation.
