      I mean the English usually don’t call mountains Berg, right? Berg is German for mountain. Ice of course being Eis. And we like compound words.

          They are germanic languages after all. There are many words you’ll find in German and e.g. Norwegian, especially if you overlook slight spelling differences (endings, v or f, s or z,… )
