weird Balkan stuff

 * note the initial /maG/ stuff, singular of Albanian (as proven by the Gypsy example) and likely more generally of Paleo-Balkan languages (possibly the barrow example)
 * "barrow, tumulus" = 🇨🇬,, , , 🇨🇬, , , , 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, , 🇨🇬
 * ultimately likely Paleo-Balkan. the /u/ → Slav. /y/ makes sense, while South Slavic /i/ (← /y/) → other langs /u/ would make no sense, so the ultimate source is not Slavic (Romanian and  are most likely Slavic loans). archeology might help
 * "Gypsy" = 🇨🇬,, , , 🇨🇬, , 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬
 * all ultimately from Greek
 * "donkey" = 🇨🇬,, , 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬
 * IMO all ultimately from Greek, although usually not taken into consideration
 * "crumb" = 🇨🇬,, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬!
 * IMO everything from Greek, though usually the connection is rejected
