Packilvanian shares words with [[Staynish]] that originated from a common source such as ''hamiy'' (blood, which relates to the term haemo- such as in haemorrhage) and ''praman'' (road, relating to promenade). Some terms, it is believed that Packilvanian influenced Staynish especially in the legal area such as ''khanon'' (canon such as law or accepted body of knowledge), and ''khavnan'' (covenant, meaning agreement and commitment). Some words it is unclear which language influence which such as ''slamiya'' (religion, which is distantly related to ''psalm'') and ''yistubil'' (stable, such as a barn). There are words which have entered Packilvanian from Staynish such as ''ikonomiya'' (economy), ''yumabaas'' (embassy) and ''khomishayin'' (commission).
The canon of Packilvanian vocabulary is determined every year by the Packilvanian Language Board through the publication of updates to the ''luKitab
Different professional bodies will also have their own jargon. For instance, the Information Technology Professionals Association of Packilvania has words such as ''letabaqa'' which normally means layers but refers to the computer development stack. There has been a nativist movement in Packilvania whereby multiple words are grouped together to form new terms such as ''shugulmahar'' (professional, formed from the words for "worker" and "skilled"), ''yadadhakiy'' (technology, formed from ''yada'' meaning "tool" and ''dhakiy'' meaning "clever") and ''sahihkhaznam'' (information, from ''sahih'' meaning "truth" and ''khaznam'' meaning treasured).
