	There are some Polish language words in Discworld which don't seem to be grouped elsewhere. Probably fell off the edge, missing the [[circumfence]], or something.

	"tak" means "yes"?

	According to the "apf", alas, neither "sto helit" nor "sto kerrig" have any meaning in Polish - I've no reason to doubt this, but could you confirm? Interesting discussion, though, as quite a lot of Roundworld languages seem to have little shout-outs on the Disc, and not all of them can be put down to English and its habit of promiscuously adopting anything that takes its fancy from wherever!

It's also used this way in Czech and maybe some other Slavic languages. "Schmaltz" is not a Polish word, though we have a similiar one: "smalec". It describes animal fat (lard?)
