@yvanspijk That's interesting, but both ubh and og are so similar to the other words in various languages that there must be a connection somewhere

@ccferrie Possibly, but superficial similarity can't be an argument when it comes to etymology. For instance, English 'much' is extremely similar to Spanish 'mucho', but there's no connection whatsoever if we delve into their past: https://www.tumblr.com/yvanspijk/770500752131112960/much-mucho?source=share
