- This page is a temporary stub, because the concept that it covered came up enough to be worth explaining but we haven't had time to write a full article about it. It will eventually be replaced by a more in-depth article.
Convergent etymology refers to the phenomenon in which the same word in a pantach language has a different etymology on different worlds. A word may, for instance, in one world be an eponym named after a specific individual, while on another world the same word is borrowed from a different language. Comparative etymology apparently arises as some consequence of the same principle of ontological resonance responsible for the existence of pantachones in the first place.
