False cognates
Re: False cognates
Venezia, Vinnycia (Вінниця) seem potentially connected in etymology but still come from different PIE roots.
Vinnycia may be closer to vendere in fact, but this connection is also unverified.

Many children make up, or begin to make up, imaginary languages. I have been at it since I could write.

Re: False cognates
German Los and Polish los both translate to fate (although they aren't necessarily the most common Synonym for that). Given the geographic proximity of the German and Polish language, you could expect them to be cognates by means of a loan word, but they don't seem to be related.

Re: False cognates
Hmm, according to Wiktionary the Old Polish word is a loan from Old High German hloz.
