  1. Audio Etymologies of the Day

    At ancientsounds.net/#five I've just added a bunch of simulations showing how "five" is related to Proto-Indo-Iranian and #Sanskrit पञ्च pancha, from which come #Urdu پانچ panch (borrowed into English “punch”, a drink made of 5 ingredients), #Balochi پنچ‎ panch, #Punjabi ਪੰਜ panj (as in ਪੰਜਾਬ Punj ab “(land of) five rivers”), #Persian پنج‎ panj, European #Romani panzh, #Ossetian фондз fondz and #Pashto پنځه pinza.

    And #Welsh pump, which is not Indo-Iranian obvs.
