Ok so the “regularly” in my post is doing a bit of lifting. Not too much tho (anchovy is the only other one you could possibly consider frequently used, unless you have a particularly bizarre vocabulary).
I found this really interesting so I looked it up! This website claims that “anchovy” also came to English from Basque, along with “bilbo” and possibly “jingo”.
“Bizarre” is the only word from the Basque language that is regularly used in the English language
(Can’t wait to be proven wrong in 5… 4… 3…)

bilbo, meaning a sword made in Bilbao,
Bilbo Baggins is the hero of The Hobbit, which every true lemmy user has tattooed on their left thigh.
I have it tattooed on my middle thigh.
That’s your nose!
TIL I’m not a true Lemmy user.
You shall not pass!
That’s what most of their teachers said, I bet.
$50.00 and I’ll keep it quiet.
