Are there universal words, and what are they? - Feddit

Related to the question about whether facial expressions are universal. Are there words/verbal expressions/sounds that exist in every language and have the same meaning in every language? (I’d also count words that are very similar.) One example, that I believe is universal is M followed by a vowel followed by another M and optionally another vowel, meaning “Mother”. At least in any language I know, this seems to hold true (mom, Mama, mamma, Mami, …). Any other examples?

There is reason to believe that there is some fairly universal mapping of sounds to meanings, even if the sounds are made-up nonesense: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouba/kiki_effect
