      Important words undergo sound changes all the time.

      For example, in Germanic languages, Proto Indoeuropean p sounds consistently morphed into f sounds. So the PIE word pods became Proto Germanic fots became English foot. pəter became fader became father. The preposition per became fur became for.

      Lox is mostly unusual in that it didn’t have any major sound changes affect it in Germanic languages.

        Ehh, you might want to read about the origins of the bakers dozen.

        Shrinkflation has been a feature of humanity for a long time, probably ever since we started trading goods.

        It’s just easier to give less when your buyer would prefer that to paying a higher price.
