lamb: lamb: [OE] Lamb is a widespread word throughout the Germanic languages (German and Swedish have lamm and Dutch and Danish have lam), but no connections have ever been established with any animal-names in non- Germanic languages. In Gothic, lamb was used for ‘adult sheep’ as well as ‘lamb’.
lamb (n.): Old English lamb "lamb," from Proto-Germanic *lambaz (cognates: Old Norse, Old Frisian, Gothic lamb, Middle Dutch, Dutch lam, Middle High German lamp, German Lamm "lamb"). Common to the Germanic languages, but with no certain cognates outside them. Old English plural was lomberu.
