Are you seriously telling me that the Hindi word for ‘screw’ is skrū

@dpk Well, there's a reason we call them Indo-European languages… Though apparently, the more common word is पेंच (pẽc), so स्क्रू (skrū) may be a modern loanword from English. Wiktionary doesn't give the etymology and I don't have other Hindi dictionaries at hand.
