Do any languages have words for left & right that start with the same letter? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Chinese I think?

  • Left - Zuǒbiān
  • Right - zhèngquè de

Not sure if that counts, considering it's using the Latin alphabet and the language is tonal, etc.

EDIT: and Ilocano:

  • Left - kannigid
  • Right - kusto

EDIT2: and Indonesian:

  • Left - kiri
  • Right - Kanan

EDIT3: and Irish:

  • Left - chlé
  • Right - ceart

Going to stop now. I'm literally just choosing languages in google translate.
