Speech-borrowing

A word in the local language of discourse which has been borrowed from the Speech.

Almost every language spoken or otherwise used by sentient beings contains at least a few Speech-borrowings, imported accidentally or on purpose by wizards working in that culture or neighborhood. Such borrowings range from the relatively complex (such as, on Earth, the Irish- and Scots-language versions of the Mason's Word) to extremely simple borrowings in which only a word or part of a word is remembered. Liused's name, as an example, is very likely a Speech-borrowing.

Borrowings are usually very worn down due to having passed through several time-bound languages after being extracted from the Speech. As a result, they normally retain little or none of the power for spelling that they would have possessed in their original, incorrupt form. (AWOM)
