Bulyth has quite a few loan-words from Proto-Elvish, and Valarin (because
the Elves north of the mountains happen to be Sindar and Nandor. Here are a
few examples:

bened "woman" f. *wened- "maiden"
minyc "eleven" f. *minik-we
numyn "west" f. *nume:n

rushyr "fire" f. V. rushur
tulyc "yellow" f. V. tuluk (cf. Tulkas)

Bulyth has also shamelessly stolen from Cornish, Welsh, Old Irish, Amman Iar
(sorry David), and Old Norse. Gods only know how they came into contact with
speakers of those languages... ;o)
