> Mother/water/bed/food/etc easily translates into most (all?) languages. Obviously such concepts cross languages.

See also: Swadesh List and its variations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swadesh_list), an attempt to make a list of such basic and common concepts.

"Bed" and "food" don't seem to be in those lists though, but "sleep" and "eat" are.
