Yes, that's what I discovered not so long ago. The difference between English and French in the way one uses the others words. As a lot of new words comes from English, mostly in computer land but not only, French are using them because it's easier to adopt them than to coin new ones. That's nothing new to me. Another reason is some French people don't speak English but want to make believe they know it to sound could and are using English words. But what is "new" to me, I mean not from yesterday, but from a few years, is that it works in the other way around, too. Some French words are used in English because they sound cool. And they are far more than what I knew/guessed a few years ago. -- Si vous avez du temps à perdre : https://scarpet42.gitlab.io

Torpenhow is a real village in Cumbria. It may etymologize to ‘hill hill ridge’, although that is not the only theory and while it does seem to be on a gentle slope, ‘ridge’ quite obviously does not fit. Torpenhow Hill seems to be be a myth, with the Wikipedia page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torpenhow_Hill covering most of the relevant points. There is a location marked in Google maps as ‘Torpenhow Hill’, but Google’s description of it as a ‘mountain peak’ is obvious nonsense: it’s a field. I think someone heard the Torpenhow Hill story and decided to mark the nearest marginally elevated point near the village as ‘Torpenhow Hill’. -- https://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/

Does 'howe' as in tumulus figure into it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumulus 'Barrow' appears to be the English term rather than the Norse 'haugr' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haugr You've got to watch those haugrs; draugrs tend to hang around them.

Spain has "Rio Guadalquivir" or "Rio Guadiana". Apparently, Guad means river in Arabic. I say apparently because once I asked an Iraqi and he said "no", but I was taught about that equivalence in school long ago, it is our tradition to teach our kids about that :-) Chatgpt says the name was "al-wādi al-kabīr" (ٱلْوَادِي ٱلْكَبِير) (the big river or the big valley), where "al-wādi" shifted into "guad-" (similar pronunciation in Spanish). I see now why that Iraqi long ago said "no" :-D -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;

My understanding is that “wādi” means “dry river bed”. As in those places that will suddenly turn into a river in a rainstorm. Places where it would be really unwise to set up camp. ;) Google Translate gives “nahr” (نهر) as the translation for “river”.

The Spanish and "English" don't always use the same word order. :-) Things must be worse in the EU ... SO many languages/names to translate so the locals "get it" :-)

Not only can nobody pronounce them there is some disagreement on what they really mean. 'shining peak' has been superceeded by 'big fucking mountain with no trees'. The typography on the signs is unique as in the 'Animal's Bridge' sign. https://highplainsstewardship.com/an-introduction-to-the-wildlife- crossing-structures-that-help-animals-move-over-and-under-highway-93-in- the-flathead-reservation-montana-luca-guadagno/ fwiw, I've stopped and walked across the bridge. I didn't see any evidence of animals using it. I think it's around Arlee but one of the signs has the translation 'Place where they gibs stuff'. Not much changes. The Indians got screwed on that rez. They allocated a number of acres to each family and then said 'Look at all the land left over! We'll sell it to the whites!' Somehow the best farmland was what was left over.

Heck, French has been a “cool” language for centuries, and not just among English speakers. What you said above about English becoming “cool” to French people ... now that is a big surprise, and seems a more recent development.

I remember back in the late 80s or so during an "All French" wave of fanaticism they decided to replace the word "satellite" with what was essentially a full sentence-long description about made objects lofted into orbits :-) "Satellite" or even "Sputnik" were a hell of a lot better, but not FRENCH ! Being a composite/pigeon language, 'English' is very good at inventing new, short, terms for things. Old terms, rules, history, almost irrelevant. >> That's nothing new to me.

German leaves off the 'e'. I have a Grundig Satellit 700 shortwave receiver. Grundig started using Satellit in '64, being all hip and space racey. trivia: Trabant is a synonym more used for a moon orbiting a planet. Fitting for the much beloved Trabant car which was out of this world.
