The discussion of using another name for a real-life concept brought to mind the fact that Tolkien, though not using a conword, calls Tobacco “pipe-weed” which I assume to be a calque of the Westron.

An excellent interview &conversations.
The discussion about how close you can get to things (such as what words are weighted with, historicall, ie valet)…reminded me of the trilogy of _Natural History Of Dragons_…many of the place-names do have the feel of places in England & China & such, though I’m reasonably sure they are not actual names IRL.
