−	Funny stuff happens to words when they're borrowed from one language to another. Like when English borrowed the word ''Ersatz'' which in German has no negative connotations but in English usually refers to something inferior.

	Gaelic does that too but for some reason, it seems to give many loanwords a rather dramatic twist. At this stage, I'm not going to comment on why and how and I'm simply going to start collecting a list of them. If there's any missing, feel free to drop me a line!
