If the homonyms are from a posteriori languages, I would be
interested in knowing how the words were derived.

I was browsing the other day through some non-IE word lists for words
that I don't have.  I found one in Estonian: liampa, to ski.  This
has become lïámpa (lïámpon, ski) in Senyecan.  Now I don't have
to
use a compound word for this concept.

mena: Iliani to give, Verdurian wave - Senyecan: to await, to remain.

sora: Iliani to hunt, Verdurian community - Senyecan: to sour.
