Oh I always do this. i often adopt words from other languages, but usually not with their original meaning [thus landed narqelyon "charm, spell" [nArkEl_jon] and líte "noon" in Long Wer from Quenya narquelion, líte; noq "mouse, rat" from Latin nox "night" kalí "fear" from an Indian goddess and a lot of Middle Egyptian vocabulary.] -- Mau
