By analysing the different forms of saying book in the listed languages we can spot a pattern: almost all of them start with the letter "b", or the letter "l". This may be related to the two different etymologys that I've found before: one that comes from the old english word "bōc"- that contributes to the origin of the word book and probably is also the origin of the words that start with "b"; and another that comes from the latin "liber" and that is the probable origin of the words that start with an "l". Having that said, we can agree that the different words to refer to this object tend to be similar among them, which gives this item a more universal nominology.
