The word "Knast" in German means prison, very colloquial.
The word "knas" in Talmudic Aramaic means "punishment".
The connection is open.

"Tof" in Netherlands (Dutch) cool, also very colloquial.
Everybody knows, that "tov" in Hebrew means "good".
I suppose, the etymology is also clear.

Small ethnographic hiddushim.
Who knows, that unicorn is our heritage:

The Tachash and the One-Horned Ox:
Shabbat Ch.2, pg.30a

R. Ila said in the name of R. Shimon the son of Lakish: R.
Meir used to say: The Tachash that existed in the days of
Moses was a unique species, and the Sages could not decide
whether it was a wild beast or a domestic animal. It had one
horn in the middle of its forehead, and it presented itself to
Moses temporarily. Moses used it to build the Tabernacle, and
then it was concealed.
And from what he said "It had one horn in the middle of its
forehead," we can infer that it was a pure animal, for Rav
Yehuda said: The ox that Adam sacrificed had one horn on its
forehead, as the verse says: "And it should be better to God
than a horned, cloven-footed ox" (Psalm 69:32).
[But the verse says] "Horned" (makrin in Hebrew). This
implies that it had two horns, [for regular horned animals have
two horns].
[The answer is that the verse] is spelled without the Yud,
[which teaches that it had only one horn].

More than that, the word "corn" in unicorn comes from the "keren" in the Holy
Language. That's sure for German "Horn" and Russian "Gorn".
The european languages kept the root structure but replaced the vocals.

"There is nothing new under the sun!"

All what I told here is IMHO. And all hidushim are only for me, for you can be old matters.
But I'm really sure.
I will keep my researches, bli neder.

Люблю Пейсах в нашем штетле.
Обычно 90% народу взрослого на улицах за 40 или около того. Много глубоко пожилого. Мелкие в большинстве своем, росточком, их молодость пришлась на голодное время, вот и не выросли. Мое поколение уже повыше.
Но начинается бейн хазманим и шили и улицы наполняются молодежью, презжают все, женатые с детьми, бохрим, колельники.
Все шили забиты до отказа. Вся молодежь на удивление высокая, здоровая, глаз радуется.
Напоминает, лехавдиль мою армейскую часть, где штатных солдат было человек 30, а на развертывание было за полторы тысячи.
Так вот у нас тут развертывание армии хаШема :)
