I think those words are of the same origin, but who borrowed what </rhetoric
question>. Uk. _smalecj_ means 'pig fat' in most cases, but sometimes you may
hear smth like _husjachyj smalecj_ 'goose fat'.
ObConlang: I'm still hesitating between two words for 'fat' in Kumanca: caw <
*jag and maj < *ban'. Does smbody know the difference?
