This is the case not only with Germanic languages. For example in
Russian:
zhivot - now meaning "belly" had once the meaning "life" (zhizn' -
"life",
zhit' - "to live") and as far as I know still has that meaning in
Polish.

Privet, Mike!
Above you attribute the quote to me, but it was actually Fiete
(Friedrich-Wilhelm Neumann) who wrote that.
