I'm half Danish (as in a person from Denmark--not the food, although I certainly eat enough of them!) I'm also the type of person who "seeks knowledge" as my Aunt B. says, which I think means I'm able to do anything. When I first learned how to read on my own as a child, she sat me down and said, "Do you know what this means Tammy? You can now learn anything you want--anything at all--because you can learn about anything in the world through books."
So I took the Danish word for apple which looks quite similar to able in English.
