Since it was missed:

Illyrian:
Veche (f.) — Cow

Use Lint as the next Word.

next: to continue; to carry on
Vanga:

1. gæslœydd-; to carry on [ˈɣæs̻tl̥œ͡ʏðː] (this does not mean to resume something previously put aside and continue on it)

Etymology
From lau-w- ('to flow'; 'to run') with the (sometimes reflexive) causative -(dd(y))dd yielding lœydd- ('to pour'; 'to make flow') and then used with the prefix gæz- ('forward').

2. ýhffœyjdd-; to carry on (with) [ˈœ͡ʏçːœ͡ʏjðː] (this does (only) mean to resume something previously put aside and continue on it)

Etymology
From the prefix -vÁj- ('up') with the (sometimes reflexive) causative -(dd(y))dd yielding vœyjdd- ('to pick up') and then incorporated by the word ýhf- ('to be new').

Next: to scare; to frighten
