English etymologies

[edit]

The article is a bit confusing. The first etymology, mostly for the sense "to increase", also contains the adverb "also", which is again on etymology 3, this time specifically capitalize. I have no idea if those are some mistakes that ought to be corrected or not, but in case of being correct, it would be nice to have some further notes explaining the differences between those senses, if someone is able to provide them. - Sarilho1 (talk) 10:27, 15 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
