medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I think you missed my exchange with John Briggs (I think it was he). He asked where Greg's relics were translated from when he meant where did they go. I responded. And since Greg was moved from one place in St Peter's to another, the "place from where" and the "place to" were the same. It's the place that was the same, not the meanings of the two words.

> Turns out the "whence" and the "whither" are the
same:
????
whence adv., conj. also used in gen. --
always has a sense of "from where" --
"where from"
whither v. basic meaning -- move rapidly
to and fro (OE)
whither adv. "where to? (OE)
to which place...
whither sb. rush about (Late ME) --[obvious
late extended meaning]
example compounds: whitherto [to what]
and "whitherward" [towards what]
There are no synonyms in English --
and these two are definitely not the
same thing.
