Has anyone noticed the similarity between the Estonian word for beach RAND and the Swedish STRAND? And the main road in London England, which in spots runs parallel to the bank of the Thames... is The Strand!

"Strand derives its name from the Old English word for "shore" or "river bank". (Swedish/Danish/Norwegian/Icelandic, Finnish, German and Dutch have also derived their word for "beach" from the same Germanic root; many beaches in Ireland are still called "strands")."
