Can't find a #Kernewek word for "dill" (Anethum graveolens). Thought I'd strike it lucky looking in bible translations of Isaiah 28 "Dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge" in the #Cornish bible (Ysay 28) but it uses "fenogel" (fennel) instead as "dill" isn't consistently translated. #langsky
The first group is Germanic-derived, giving English, German and Swedish "dill". This root also appears in some non‑Germanic languages, for example Latvian dilles. mapologies.com/herbs/
