You will find a list of terms that I have noticed have coincidental counterparts in other languages.
It should be noted that all these similarities are purely coincidental; Words actually sharing a common source (e.g., Dutch stekker and Romanian ștecher, which both come from the German Stecker) are not included in this list.
