Thanks! I guess I should have checked to make sure I wasn't creating a redundant list, but I've been digging into this subject since reading about Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī and the origins of algebra. I'd be really curious to find a list of words that travelled to English via the Silk Road.

One of my favorite qualities about this site is that every potential list is an existing list--but I think it's also true that every list has potential.
And this is a good one.

Maybe every potential bilby is an existing bilby? DNA and all that. Instinct in the ways of the desert. Hmmm.
