Falsos amics a vigilar
llevar (Català) vol dir «to remove, take off; (llevar-se) to get up» · llevar (Espanyol) vol dir «to carry, take; to wear»
Both from Latin LEVĀRE 'to lift'. Spanish lifts and carries; Catalan lifts away (lleva't la jaqueta 'take your jacket off') or lifts itself, like French se lever. Catalan carries with portar.
pujar (Català) vol dir «to go up, climb; to raise» · pujar (Espanyol) vol dir «to bid; to strain, push hard»
Catalan pujar is generally derived from spoken Latin *PODIĀRE 'to climb' (PODIUM). Spanish pujar is usually linked to it, perhaps through 'raising' a price, though the details are debated. In Barcelona, puja is 'come up'.
cama (Català) vol dir «leg» · cama (Espanyol) vol dir «bed»
Coincidence. Catalan cama is Late Latin CAMBA 'hock, leg' (the source of Italian gamba and French jambe); Spanish and Portuguese cama 'bed' is a Late Latin word of Hispanic, probably pre-Roman, origin.
