Find names and words by meaning
Start with the idea you want to express, then compare how different languages represent it. A search for "fire," for example, might lead to a true vocabulary word in one language, a traditional personal name derived from heat or brightness in another, and a symbolic association elsewhere.
VooWood does not flatten those differences. Each guide explains what is literal, what is historical and what is simply evocative.
