('вопить, кричать') - 'screech' ('пронзительно кричать') are of Germanic ori¬gin. The first word of the pair comes
down from Old English whereas the second one is a Scandinavian borrowing. Examples of native doublets are
'shadow' ('тень') and 'shade! Both are derived from the same Old English word 'sceadu'. 'Shade' is developed from the
Nominative case, 'sceadu' is derived from oblique ease 'sceadwe'. The words 'drag' and 'draw' both come from Old
English 'dragan' ('тащить') Etymological doublets also arise as a result of shortening when both the shortened form
and the full form of the word are used: 'defense' - 'защита' - 'fence' - ''забор'; 'history' - 'история' - 'story' - 'рассказ'.
Examples of ETYMOLOGICAL TRIPLETS (i.e. groups of three words of common root) are few in number:
