Another oddity [or not] that occurs to me whenever I see the words, is the similarity between ADOBE, when referring to a dwelling, and
ABODE....definitly a dwelling.

Dennis you know I can't leave that alone. And, thankfully, my fingers are still working a little faster. Here's the Middle Eastern origin of adobe.
The word adobe /əˈdoʊbiː/ has existed for around 4,000 years, with relatively little change in either pronunciation or meaning.
The word can be traced from the Middle Egyptian (c. 2000 BC) word dj-b-t "mud [i.e., sun-dried] brick." As Middle Egyptian evolved into Late Egyptian,
Demotic, and finally Coptic (c. 600 BC), dj-b-t became tobe "[mud] brick." This was borrowed into Arabic as al-tub
(الطّوب al "the" + tub "brick") "[mud] brick," which was assimilated into Old Spanish as adobe [aˈdobe],
still with the meaning "mud brick." English borrowed the word from Spanish in the early 18th century.
Looking into the origin of Abode, on the other hand, really did fill a hole in my education. I didn't know the following.
• abide •
Printable VersionPronunciation: ê-baid • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb, intransitive, transitive
Meaning: 1. (Intransitive) To live in the sense of dwell, to reside. 2. (Intransitive) To continue in existence, to exist unchanged in some state. 3.
(Transitive) To tolerate, put up with, endure.
Notes: Historically the past participle of this word was abidden, but the past participle assimilated with the past tense a century or so ago, so now
this verb is conjugated abide, abode, (has) abode. However, since this latter form is now used for the noun (an abode), the verb seems to be
converting to a regular verb: abide, abided, (has) abided. This trend should continue if this seldom used verb survives at all.
In Play: The original sense of today's lovely word has pretty much been replaced by the simpler verb (to) live, but it holds its ground for those
unafraid of touching up their conversations with a bit of poetry now and again: "How Lester can abide in such a hovel as he inhabits is beyond
explication." I still like to hear the noun from the old past participle when in such a poetic mood: "Postlewaith retired from cricket in 2002 and now
occupies a small but cozy abode tucked into a garden of his own making just outside Stikiwick."
I hope this helps fill a little time not having a cold one. I've never craved a brew so much (rarely now) as since "they" said No mas!
