I really enjoyed the first two instalments- looking forward to learning more. I didn’t get all the f and p words in the list but I had fun thinking about them and making exaggerated consonant sounds to myself while I did it!

Interesting about kunja. Related no doubt to kul meaning kin or clan or family group in Hindi and perhaps Sanskrit.

Comment from Richard Manning: It is great to see suggestions of matching words from other Indo-European languages. This suggestion raises several issues to which we will be returning later.
