Of course, yes! Where is my English head today? far less stunted.

BTW, are you acquainted with the words, somewhat antiquated nowadays, unfortunately: whither-hither-thither (to where, to here, to there), whence-hence-thence (from where/when, from here/now, from there/then)

"Whence" is the only one you may hear occasionally, but people wrongly say "Send him back to the place from whence he came", which is saying "Send him back to the place from from where he came"

- Worry is the interest you pay, in advance, for a loan that you may never need to take out.
