Yes, the date of borrowing is really important here.
I need the language origin to guide derivational processes.
Hence, "loan words" must be clearly separated form "foreign words"
that are still recognized by German speakers as "foreign",
e.g. "das Meeting", because both groups differ
from a morphological (and phonological) perspective.

Greetings
