* from Polish the most notable ones are many colour names, like ''tjervon'' (red, < ''czerwony''), ''sjilon'' (yellow, < ''zielony''), and probably ''lilan'' "purple" from ''liliowy''. Colour names in Wendlandish show many borrowings, like the probably Baltic terms ''ruds'' (brown) and ''gælten'' (yellow). | * from Polish the most notable ones are many colour names, like ''tjervon'' (red, < ''czerwony''), ''sjilon'' (yellow, < ''zielony''), and probably ''lilan'' "purple" from ''liliowy''.

It is worth noting that most Polish loans date before the changes in pronunciation of Pol. '''ó''' and '''ł''' and as such they usually have the values /ɔ/ (or /oː/) and /l/ in Wendlandish, e.g. in ''gosj'' /ɣoːʃ/ "nail" < ''gwóźdź'' and in ''mildo'' /ˈmiːldo/ "soap" < ''mydło''. Some terms were however adopted later and therefore have the "newer" values (e.g. ''zakvat'' /ˈzaːkʋat/ "factory" < ''zakład''). | |||
