This word also exists in Polish, Lithuanian, and Russian, as a loanword from French. Because I imagine speakers of Svobenian living somewhere in central Europe (i even have the whole althist thing where i made Svobenia, country of Svobenians, being located in what is now Kaliningrad oblast), i find it sensible that they’d also borrow this word.
And yeah, it’s a Germanic language, developing separately from probably originally Eastern Germanic branch, somewhere in what is now Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany, but then got heavily influenced by some early West Slavic language. I’m gonna elaborate on the whole history of svobenes once i actually “finish” the language
the dad is kinda hot tho
