Very simple interesting word - reading about a brief story of the Albanian in the eastern Europe there is Illyrian's word called "Sika" or Proto-Albanian called it "Tsika" which almost the same as the Bidayuh Bijagoi called Sind'Na'. Although the spelling maybe different but the sound of calling it almost 90% similar.
Illyrian's "Sika", Proto-Albanian "Tsika" and Bidayuh Bijagoi Sind'Na' are the same meaning for knife. This shows how close and connected we are with the world far beyond our land.
There is that word called Duku' (Cleaver / Machete) in Iban dialects and Bukuo' in Bidayuh Jagoi which is almost with the same meaning as old Amernian word in the eastern Europe called "daku" for Axe.
