A peoples' language is a positive fingerprint of their mind. If they understand it, no matter how or where they got it, they have a word for it so they can reference it.
If they do not have a word for it then the concept doesn't go through their minds.
Even if they don't do something or own it or make it or witness it often, if it's important enough to mention that it is something that ''doesn't pertain to us, it pertains to them'' a word will be adopted or invented or adapted.
