In Sanskrit, the word "वाम" (waama) stands for both "left" and "wicked.
Gauche means "left" in French
In Hungarian, the word for right is jobb, which also means "better". The word for left is bal, which also means "bad".
The list goes on and on! We won't even talk about all those years in school, sitting at a desk trying to write on the thin board mounted on the right side of the chair, or trying to get comfortable writing in a three-ring binder with one's wrist resting on the rings!
