Editing False cognate (section)

==Phenomenon==
The term "false cognate" is sometimes misused to refer to [[false friend]]s, but the two phenomena are distinct.{{sfnp|Moss|1992|p=?}}{{sfnp|Chamizo-Domínguez|2008|p=166}} False friends occur when two words in different languages or dialects look similar, but have different meanings. While some false friends are also false cognates, many are genuine cognates (see [[false friend#Causes|False friends § Causes]]).{{sfnp|Chamizo-Domínguez|2008|p=166}}  For example, English ''pretend'' and French ''prétendre'' are false friends, but not false cognates, as they have the same origin.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=pretend |title=Pretend |work=The Online Etymological Dictionary |last=Harper |first=Douglas |author-link=Douglas Harper |access-date=2015-09-14}}</ref>
