Been 1 year since I've not had blue hair. Missing it but happier these days. Less colour clash (amongst other things related & unrelated)!

in Cyprus we say κεφαλή female head for head, in Greece it's κεφάλι neutral head for head. Crazy. We also say κκελλέ, much cooler.
Is there an equivalent idiom for "head of the table"? Could get absurd quickly.
γόμα is glue in Cyprus but eraser in Greece, κόλλα is paper in Cyprus but glue in Greece. That's got potential.
French uses words from ancient Greek, they sound similar to m. Gr. Greek: gomme for eraser and colle for glue :)
I doubt they're Ancient Greek – probably Byzantine. Will check as I'm curious even though I knew this from school.
OK, so not actually from Greek to French at all. Actually from Italian to both: gomma < Latin gummi < Anc Gr κόμμι.
so in Koine/Modern it goes as the link here says: http://www.lexigram.gr/lex/newg/%CE%B3%CF%8C%CE%BC%CE%B1 …
and for French from Latin gummi as etymology here says: https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/gomme
so yes, there is an Ancient Greek root to the word, but that's true for pretty much every IE word so kind of unfair.
