> borrow to someone lend. I think some European languages have the same word for both lend* and borrow (German?): is that actually the case?

  Dutch. We say "lenen aan" and "lenen van", resp. "lend to" and "lend from" aka "borrow". We also use the same word for nephew and cousin. I'm not sure about German, but they do got "sea" and "lake" mixed up ;)

    Indeed, Meer and See are excellent words.
