These all mean 'night' and derive from the Proto-Indo-European {{lang|ine-x-proto|[[:wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/nókʷts|*nókʷts]]}} 'night'. The Indo-European languages have hundreds of such cognate sets, though few of them are as neat as this.

The [[Arabic]] {{lang|ar|سلام}} ''salām'', the [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] {{Script/Hebrew|שלום}} ''shalom'', the [[Assyrian Neo-Aramaic]] ''shlama'' and the [[Amharic language|Amharic]] ''selam'' 'peace' are cognates, derived from the [[Proto-Semitic]] [[:wikt:Appendix:Proto-Semitic/šalām-|*šalām-]] 'peace'.

The [[Guarani language|Paraguayan Guarani]] ''panambi'', the [[Eastern Bolivian Guaraní language|Eastern Bolivian Guarani]] ''panapana'', the [[Cocama language|Cocama]] and [[Omagua language|Omagua]] ''panama'', and the [[Sirionó language|Sirionó]] ''ana ana'' are cognates, derived from the [[Tupi language|Old Tupi]] ''panapana'', 'butterfly', maintaining their original meaning in these [[Tupi languages]]. [[Brazilian Portuguese]] ''panapanã'' (flock of butterflies in flight) is a borrowing rather than a cognate of the other words.
