Very cool. My polish spelling is pretty bad these days but somehow got NIEMY in 3 which I wasn't even sure is a word (turns out it means mute).

Yeah, a fun fact is that the Polish word for Germany (Niemcy) is derived from this. Basically Slavic people couldn't communicate with them, so they were called "mute people" because they didn't speak (our languages).

Nice, I wasn't aware of that. I always thought "mute" was "niemowny".
