Bereshit
I was checking the word of the day at Merriam-Webster.com today.
The word(phrase) is Ab Ovo which is apparently from the Latin meaning from the egg.
The 'English' meaning is from the beginning.
This gave me an interesting thought about beginnings. (Or at least the beginning of the Torah if it was written in unusual English words.)
The first book of the Torah could have been called Ab Ovo or From the egg. (Would this have been the 'Avian' version of the Torah had we been related to birds instead of being primates.)
