I'm OK for compiling this.
Why don't we start from the list already used for English/Spanish/French?

From: "Stephen Weatherford 

Here are a few more questions for ya'll, since you're in such a good
vocabulary mood....  :-)

formula (i.e., powdered [add water] substitute for milk for very young infants): ?
crayon: ?
magic marker: ?
giddyap! (said to horse to make it gallop): ?
whoa! (said to horse to make it stop): ?
chocolate chip cookie: ?
sipper cup (i.e., a cup with a lid an and opening just big enough to take small sips): ?

Also, I've always been confused about Kinderwagen vs Sportwagen/karre.  Is
there a difference?  (I have no idea what a "pram" is - what's the
difference between "Pushchair/Stroller/Buggy" and "Pram"?)

thanks much,
Stephen W.
