Wolf in Every Language
wilk vilkas vrka gorg ujk líkos lupus wolf {*ulkʷo-}
A stylized linguistic diagram shows different words for “wolf” arranged around the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European root {*ulkʷo-}: wilk, vilkas, vrka, gorg, ujk, lýkos, lupus, and wolf. The joke is that, unlike the uploader’s captioned “virgin wolf,” this wolf has many different names across languages, making it a nerdy language and etymology reaction meme.
