Just a few of mine--
Span. peldaño 'step (tread) of a staircase'
(I was going to add aranquel 'shelf', but turns out that's anaquel :-((.
arancel means 'tariff' :-((.  Also ñuque, but that's not in the dictionary
either.  Ñuque and aranquel may not exist, but I like them anyway, perhaps
they're Kash.......ñuke, arakel ~arangel.)

I always get a chuckle out of Wagner's "Siegfrieds Rheinfahrt"
