In Tunisian Arabic baby speak, “mama” means “mama” but “mam-ma” (see [1]) means food/eat.

Quite confusing, but it seems to work?

In Korean, "mamma" is baby-talk for food, "eomma" is mom, and "mama" is "Your Highness" (which is also a euphemism for... measles).
So measles is a royal sickness.. I guess Korean wins haha
