UBUNTU, from Zulu.

Ubuntu is a concept in Bantu philosophy which is commonly translated as humanity or humaneness, but those are rough and don't capture the nuance.

In a bunch of SciFi stories, a robot or alien joins a group of humans. The humans are initially wary of the alien/robot, but they spend time together, bond, and realize that they're not really that different after all. A human says that, while their new friend might not be Homo sapiens, they're definitely human.

Ubuntu captures that whole concept in one word. It refers to the subtle, ineffable qualities which "make us human", as exemplified by our social bonds and how we interact with each other.

Xará: someone who shares the same name as you.

Doch, from German and its main use is expresseing a positive statement in opposition to a prior negative one. For pronunciation, use Wiktionary.

Cwtch (pronounced like your are going to say cook, but replace the k with tch. It is a welsh word, essentially meaning "to make small". Not as in shrinking, but in various instances like: A covering or shelter, the small space under the staircase, a hug or cuddle (because you are making the space between you small), and it also means when you like someone because you have a small space in your heart for them.

• come here love and give your nan a lovely cwtch
• Bryn has a cwtch for Rhiannon
