Falsos amigos a vigilar
voler (Catalán) significa «to want» · voler (Francés) significa «to fly; to steal»
Coincidence. Catalan voler is spoken Latin *VOLĒRE (for VELLE 'to want'), the source of French vouloir; French voler is VOLĀRE 'to fly', and 'to steal' came from the falconer's bird flying off with its prey.
