Word for "sponge" around Europe.
by danielogiPL
Notes:
All of the languages are color coded by the roots of the word, which I have done research on. Please note that the yellow and gray areas do not share the same etyology; "sponge" is derived from Ancient Greek σπόγγος, while "Schwamm" is from Proto-Germanic *swammaz (though the further roots of this word are unknown). I was not able to find the exact etymology for the Latvian "sūklis", so it is colored different from the yellow and gray areas.
Please note that this map exclusively lists the translations for a sea sponge, not a kitchen sponge. Many languages have the same word for both, but there are some exceptions.
There are a few languages where I couldn't find the translation, most notably the Sami languages, Karelian, Kalmyk, Ingush, and Adyghean. Please let me know any missing translations!

A sponge reef from the Carboniferous Bear Gulch formation. A pair of female Daidal acanthocercus mantis shrimp forage for food together (some mantis shrimp species form long term monogamous relationship pairs). Echinochimera, a strange chondrichthyan, swims past in the foreground while the elongated Thrinacodus forages between sponges.
