Same thing in Slavic languages, but they replaced arkto with ~~"the one who knows where the honey is", medved (med = honey, ved = knowledge)~~ "honey eater", thank you for correcting comrades!

Huh, I thought it was more akin to "honey eater"

[–] Kirbywithwhip1987@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 6 months ago

It literally means honey eater

Erm, ackshually Wiktionary says that's a false etymology.
