The English word cow is related to other Germanic words: Icelandic kýr and Swedish ko. These words are also connected to a surprising group of words across other Indo‑European branches thought to derive from a common Proto‑Indo‑European root, *gʷṓws, for example Irish bó, Latvian govs, and Armenian  կով (kov).

Most European languages are united by a common thread: the word for ant. From the Galician formiga to the Romanian furnică, and from Greek μυρμήγκι (myrmígki) to Finnish muurahainen. Surprising, huh? We can find the traces of a single Proto-Indo-European ancestor: *mórwis.

Although at first glance dva and zwei may appear distinct from “two“, they share a common linguistic ancestry traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root, dwóh₁.

#Berries are a problematic term to translate: First, currants, despite not having the ending -berry, are berries. Second, commonly, berries refer to a specific type of fruit like blueberries & cranberries. However, scientifically, a berry is a fleshy fruit produced from a single ovary. It does not include blackberries, raspberries, or strawberries but it does grapes, bananas, or tomatoes.
