The same (vital, chief, crude, basic) word is used across much of the ……… : tak in Danish and takk in Norwegian and Icelandic, while Finnish speakers use kiitos to say thanks.

ENVELOPS DENY
After all, this ……… area is where 12 Lancastrians were accused of witchcraft in 1612, leading to one of England's deadliest witch (cases, lawsuits, courts, trials).
