"Tooth" in various European languages

RedCollowrath:

Indo-European languages have inherited their words for "tooth" from one of the two Proto-Indo-European synonyms, *h₃dónts and *ǵómbʰos. Most languages have derivatives from both words for many related terms. For example, Russian "десна" ("gum") is derived from the former, while German "Kamm" ("comb") from the latter. The Proto-Balto-Slavic descendant has also been borrowed into Proto-Finnic. Most Finno-Ugric languages share a common Proto-Finno-Ugric root, however.

The map isn't very diverse overall. Chuvash "шӑл" (šăl) is a cognate to Turkish "šiš", as in "šiš kebab". I know the Proto-North Caucasian hypotheses is controversial, but these words were so similar I couldn't resist. I couldn't find etymology for the Irish and Scottish Gaelic words. If you know it or you think there's something else wrong with my data, feel free to mention it and I will update the map and reupload it in this comment.
