The Origins of Borrowing Words

The Greeks and the Romans were in the habit of referring to all of the local deities by whichever Latin or Greek name, most closely matched. The Pacific Northwest is very rich linguistically and rich culturally and rich in the same sort of way that I don't know. There's a lot of borrowing of local flora and fauna, and local agricultural technology terms. Most of the time, loan words are just single words, but you can borrow entire phrases like "je ne sais quoi," which literally means 'I don't know what'
