Some parts of "English" deliberately lean on Latin and Greek and get no further - I suppose we call it the classic influence. I'd like to see English crack on and continue to subsume words and concepts from foreign parts.
Now, here we have evidence of a really old civilization and I'd like to see English words being extrapolated from the languages (lingua - Latin) extant (Latin) of the region (Latin - regio).
I think it is time that we start pinching Anatolian names and concepts. It's quite a large region and over 10,000 years it must have had quite a lot of ideas and concepts that we take for granted now and given the age of the place - probably invented them.
