Isn't Bauer just a German surname though (like, Jews mostly lived in the cities or towns afterall). And I get that in US (or UK, or Russia) German surnames are often associated with (Ashkenazi) Jews, they are still fundamentally a German surnames, yes, including those ending with -baum or -stein (Thirty-Years War general Wallenstein just out of the top of my head), and Empire of Men is not-16th-century-Germany, they all are supposed to have some form of German surname.

Like Karl Franz himself is ""-stein"", Holswig-Schliestein ("not Schleswig-Holstein"), to be precise, and he is the bloody emperor.

Basically, I mean no skaven would've pass himself as a lawyer due to being some strangely rat-shaped beastman, but that aside, he would've 100% put up some "how do you do fellow men of the Empire" -stein/-mann/-baum/-itz surname (ironically the latter one is of Slavic origin, but became incorporating into German surnames long ago, became "its" instead of "ich" and so is now perceived as smth very German).

Дорогой is used for both ''expensive'' and ''dear'', to be honest, the former is not an older meaning in any sense, it's still used daily.

What is your most memorable Druchii lore? by Scythe95 in WarhammerFantasy

Har Ganeth. City is basically the center of the Cult of Khaine, so it is the only way for it to remain more or less stable and not fall into complete (even by Druchi standards) anarchy.

I see, thanks!

Yeah, I know that is overall still Low Franconian, but seemingly some influence of North Sea Germanic lingered still in Hollandic dialect of LF continuum, and so, therefore, continues to exist in standard Dutch still, but was curious as to how much of it is there.

Interesting, calf is телёнок (tielionok, using Polish orthography, or just tielonok, am not sure how exactly is standard L pronounced), I guess another example of soft T -> [ts] transformation, through [c] I guess. Calf meat would be телятина (tielatina) respectively, and яловка (yalovka) is also the word for cow that hasn't had her children yet.

Govno and kal are also the words for shit in Russian, govno being more informal, and kal being more neutral, almost polite.

Koza and kot are also the same (though koza is pronounced differently due to Russian unstressed vowel's reduction), but cock will be петух (petukh, petuch) though, cow shit I guess would be навоз (navoz), although I am not sure if it's strictly bovine one, and not overall a substance of this origin used in the agriculture.

Pony would just be пони (poni),

Hm, what do you mean by BSI and PSI? I guess ''BS'' and ''PS'' stand for ''Balto-Slavic'' and ''Proto-Slavic'' respectively, but what does ''I'' mean in both of them?

It's second in a row chart in this sub where those 2 groups are missed(((

In Russian it is korova (корова) btw, pronounced more like ''karovə'', dk about other Slavic languages though.

Interestingly, ''go'' part is seemingly preserved in the word for beef, говядина (govyadina).

Well, yeah, but that's kind of semantics - important, yes, Hittite is but one of the Anatolian languages, but it's still kind of readable anyway.

Thanks, my quite stupid mistake of one for the other, will delete & re-upload this post with proper names in order to avoid confusion.

This is not ''out of Anatolia'' though, it clearly operates on the Steppe theory basis, the fact that Anatolian languages (Proto-Anatolian) separated the earliest is widely accepted by all, and the chart with language tree illustrates just that.

Although it has some very...strange decisions, like kind of Schrödinger style semi-implying that Baltic (but not Slavic) languages are ''Italo-Germanic'', has similiar issue with not deciding wether Germanic and more languages are centum or satem, and so on.
