kitab in Greek?
[edit]| “ | A similar, more recent example is kitab "book", originally from Arabic and now spread to nearly every language in historical contact with Islamic traders, including (among others) Swahili, Persian, Turkish, Greek, Hindi and Indonesian. | ” |

Capitalization
[edit]Are we following German or English capitalization rules in this article? It is inconsistent. Brianhe (talk) 06:06, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
Would a section on Wanderworter in fiction be legit?
[edit]In the Myst series, the Yucatec Maya word ts'ono'ot (whence the word cenote) is a Wanderwort from the D'ni language, being akin to Modern D'ni "tsonot", meaning "abyss". (http://www.eldalamberon.com/dni_dict.htm)-Tawaki (talk) 12:42, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
