Re:   Generic word for "bug" in one of my conlangs.

Well, from Plautdietsch, I borrowed this word for "bug" ...

- en Kjniepa.

... to make the Goesk word ...

de niepe

I just corrupted the word willy-nilly.

I seem to recall your writing that Jameld is Germanic.   For my own Germanic
project, Goesk, I've been borrowing some words from Plautdietsch (Low
German) with the help of the dictionary at this site.
