What a great article. I love that you combined education, linguistics, and the Lindy effect. I actually studied linguistics at university and had a professor that was an expert in Nahuatl. Not sure if you are familiar with George Lakoff's work on language and meaning but you might find it very interesting. The book "Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things" came to mind when you shared the example of the word for teacher.
