@memdmp@catgirl.center notably, my answers are very biased towards Germanic languages. so maybe most of my specific examples don't apply at all to the rest of Europe. I don't know any romance language, Slavic language, or Uralic language. but I do think the hypothesis that "the shared words usually arise from travel" feels pretty rock solid. Zero hard evidence for that I did not Do A Study but c'mon it's obviously true just trust me
