User:TheSilverWolf98/North Eurasian Trees

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to navigation Jump to search

I have a deep interest in the names of things used throughout Northern Eurasia - especially the names of animals, small plants, and trees; and trying to work out their origins - I am particularly interested when I find a name that has an unknown, potentially substrate origin, such as Latin īlex or Romanian stejar. Here is my collection of different tree names.
