More Quirks

I'm not sure it's worth a point in that case, since the difference is purely linguistic. An ancient Celt or Norseman who learns a language which distinguishes blue and grey would have no more difficulty than an English speaker learning Russian distinguishes two different colours—голубой and синий—which English calls blue. (Note that голубой is related to голубь pigeon, while синий descends from a word meaning both blue and grey. The same thing happened to blue in English; grey is related to green, since they both derive from the word grow.)
