  If you didn't clock it, the themed answers are the language of origin for the loanword in each clue

  1A: Islam; A+RA[b]BI+C[onsider]

  6A: stein; G-MAN containing [be]ER

  12A: taboo; [e]TON GAN[gs]

  14A: behemoth; HERE containing B[attle] + W

  Thanks for the interesting puzzle! I didn’t quite understand that I was inputting the languages of origin, just entered based on wordplay, but I like the idea now that I understand it. Shouldn’t the enumeration for 7A be (4,5)?

    Thanks! I thought so too for 7a, but all the dictionaries I checked have it as one word. Maybe I'll say (9 or 4,5)
