    Kont in Dutch - English’s closest major relative - is very interesting.

    Presumably it’s cognate with cunt, which reminds me of the different meanings of fanny in UK/US English.

    Also Finnish and Estonian both with perse - cool, they’re both Uralic so that makes sense. And just below them dirsa seems so similar, despite Latvian being Indo-European. But then along comes their Uralic buddy Hungarian with the utterly dissimilar segglyuk.
