Some languages use natrium instead of sodium.
- yorwba 8y agoI did some statistics on the translations at https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sodium#Translations https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sodium#Translations Of 107 unique language-word pairs (some languages have multiple words for sodium) there are 53 starting with [nNнν], all of which are some variation of natrium (they are in 51 languages because Icelandic and Roman have two variants each). Likewise, there are 37 starting with [sṣ], all of which are some variation of sodium. The remaining 17 are either different or no transliteration is available to check.
