This may be obvious, but I recently started routinely adding "-youtube" to google searches. This eliminate most pages with links to garbage YouTube-monetized videos that try to attract people looking for basic instructions on how to do simple things. Greatly improves the quality of search results.

The word for bread in various languages.

Proto-Germanic seems to have had two words for bread, one becoming the present Germanic blue words, the other borrowed into Uralic and Slavic languages and becoming the yellow ones.

One theory is that *braudą was the word for bread with yeast. It is related to the verb "to brew [beer]".

The yellow word survives in English "loaf" and Norwegian "leiv" (piece of bread) and "loff".
